Y Block Exhaust
What are you guys doing for exhaust on the y block. Got a 272 and wondering how it will sound. Are you running mufflers,glass pak, or straight pipes off the manifold. Thinking of running it out behind the cab on each side.

I don't have a truck with Y block but have a 56 passenger with 292 Y block . Stock factory instaled duel exaust manifolds with glass pack cherry bombs , great sound ,not to loud not to quiet . If you like it loud , I say , headers and out behind the cab .

I've got a '55 Passenger car with the 272. Duals into red glasspacks (24") and it sounds like heaven. I think the key is to put the glasspacks close to the engine. It is quiet as a mouse at idle, but when you rev up and let off the gas it screams. I'm hoping every engine I have after that one sounds like that!
