Very thankful, probably would not, if not acquired before covid, and the lift used.

Def alot quieter, less raw. I liked the sound of glasspacks better, but this is much much quieter at cruise, which was the whole point of this.


Iphone microphone did some weird auto tune stuff with sound.

Took a long drive, can hear radio at highway speed now and then some. Kind of sad it quieted it so much, it was fun rolling into the throttle and hearing the beautiful big block sounds. Its still there but much much tamer.

Happy i guess??

Loud pipes are cool and all. It’s in our DNA as car enthusiasts. But as we get older and end up with families, we usually start leaning more toward making our hot rods enjoyable for everyone riding in them.

That’s where things like cut-outs come in handy. Want it nice, quiet, and smooth? Keep the cut-outs closed. Feeling rowdy and want to hear the engine sing? Open them up.

Depending on the style, you either push a button, flip a switch, or grab wrenches and swap the caps back on.

And sometimes you end up with a wife who likes a obnoxiously loud exhaust more than you do. She probably would be happy if there was no other option than her much beloved Purple Hornies.


I'm positive that one will magically appear on the work bench eventually to be installed on the 52 Ford 8N too. Since literally almost everything else in the fleet has them at this point.

That’s wishful thinking, and we like it, but probably not something we’d be sending out for free.

We do try to keep them competitively priced though. With Father’s Day coming up, maybe it’s something you can mention to the significant other

I love it, currently debating header type/exhaust for wife truck/ probably be identical to this setup because no exhaust shop involved.

Nice work...some heavy lifting.

what transmission jack do you have and does it lift high enough and still have reasonable amount of stability?

I'm in the market...old school heavy duty ones hard to come by anymore.

Its not old school but feels like it, its a strongway 46203. I was nervous with the cast iron 205 hanging off the side but it did fine, reasonably stable to be that high. https://www.northerntool.com/product...ion-jack-46203
man chevy so much easier

Ive had this and my jeep's lighter TH350/atlas strapped on it up high and it feels more stable than I'd expected..
