460/5, thanks for the clarity there. I'm looking forward to the video, and I'll be buying some mufflers today probably. Then I'll be waiting for my next paycheck to get everything all installed. 2 weeks sounds like it'll be too long though, lol. Ok, I'll check back here later and see what's going on. Thank you everyone for the opinions and info. Making my life a lot easier with trying to figure out what type of muffler to get.

[QUOTE=Bullitt390;8201426]Not sure what you are saying...
The ORIGINAL poster wanted all opinions... and I gave mine.
I was agreeing with ya. It just didnt sound like it.
What I think and what gets typed are sometimes way different.

I wish I used the solid, non-glass cherry bombs, or their equivilent. At leats it would have changed the sound.

The only time I really don't like the drone is when I have a headache or really tired on a drive home kinda thing. Neither really happens too often, so it's not bad. But ya, I think the only reason I like it is because it annoys everyone else.

Thanks for the vid, sounds great. Exhaust doesn't look too bad either. I like the rumble it gives, and I do like the raspier revs. Gotta say, it does look a little cold out there, lol. Just a little.

I had them on my 77 4x4. it has a cam, headers, dual exh and it had a very hollow tin can sound to it. I remember whenever a rock would kick up and hit the exhaust it would piiiiiiiiing! with an echo LOL!
I have heard the magna flows and they sound real nice. quiet for cruising around (you can have a conversation on a date with them
)and sound real aggressive when you get on them.
Guess it all boils down to what your taste (and age) are. I'm 43. very much into rods but still want to hear my music (not so much the wife
when cruising ).And as a side note. a Big block will sound completely different then a small block of the same exhaust set up.
also, you can buy a set of mufflers at your local auto parts store, slip them on without any fasteners just to hear them. if you don't like them return them. Ive done it a few times. I told the person behind the counter what I was going to do and had no problem returning them.
