If the exhaust noise from the engine is not a problem, maybe just have the shop flatten or move the tailpipes? That would be less money than replacing them with junk.

It would be cool (pun intended) if that were hammered out, a formula, but think every OE has done many times over.

Yeah, there's the problem, the magnaflows. Those are not 'quiet' mufflers.

Like I mentioned, you can't make loud mufflers quiet by dropping back to 2.5 tailpipes.

If you call Pypes, you can...

Tips that point to the ground or even to the side and down are a little quieter, going to a 2.5 tailpipe will help a little too, but the majority of it comes from the mufflers.

I've run those Flex-a-lite 295 fan setups on 68-72 A-bodies, they work, and were my go-to. They have a rating of 4600cfm, but don't believe all fan companies use the same formula to calc CFM.

Yup, need more specific info, SCR, head info, cam degreed or not, timing chain setup, etc.

As the rear ride height rises, weight on the rear tires shifts to the front tires, and there's less downforce on the rear tires. By raising the rear, you're making any traction issues worse.
