300 exhaust
I have a 300 six with split clifford headers shorties.Dual exhaust with Lobak Mufflers.For a six it sounds pretty bad ***. A lot of people think its a eight cylinder. one thing though it eats collecter gaskets like crazy go with dead soft aluminum.

I to have a 300 and I was thinking about purchssing a clifford duel outlet header. I just don't know how to rout the rest of the system. Any suggestions? I will be using cherry bomb glasspacks.
Thanks

Just adding my 2 cents. My stock muffler rusted off the other day. Granted I was going to replace it with a Cat-Back system from Gibson or Borla, so it wasn't a big deal. However, since I'm still in college for a few more weeks before summer break, I don't have the money for the new muffler. So.... I just hacked off the remains of mine and bolted on a short straight pipe and a bend that exits before the rear axle. I agree with previous posts, it sounds like a wimpy motor boat. When I get the Cat-back, I plan to replace the stock cats as well, but I'm not sure on the headers. What would I gain by if I added a set of Clifford headers? With whatever I do, I aim to get rid of the motorboat sound, and get something that just plain sounds good. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 24-Jun-00 AT 11:16 AM (EST)[/font][p]If you get that 270 degree cam....it make a difference. The headers didnt do a whole lot but you have to run em if you do the intake as you have already found out. BUT i hollowed out my cat ( i had a high flow) and that made a BIG difference. If you do that though...get a flowmaster and run big tips. It will not dissapoint you....it will sound better than thoes ricers and the v-6's....it has its own unique sound. its hard to explane unless you have heard it. If you really want to **** the neighobors off ....run true dules with that 300.....WOW is it loud! BUT there is a point where it gets annoing...haha...but if you mellow it out with a set of flows.....there is no doubt that it would sound good.....I can honestly say ( being an owner of an I-6) there is nothing that sounds better than a V-8. BUT you can get a dang good sounding 300!! I love that engine! My 2 cents!
