Question Exhaust Sounds

We need a thread of people's rides of how their exhaust sounds and what they have for a setup on the exhaust.. Headers, etc

Nobody wants a thread where we can hear different exhaust systems on their cars? I think it would be a great thread and help people decide what they want for their cars etc...

The X pipe really made the exhaust quieter especially at full throttle...before when the car had 2 1/2 inch exhaust and same mufflers it was like no exhaust at all at full throttle.On a side note...The ultraflows and larger tailpipes actually were worth almost 3 tenths at the time...this actually go me into the 13's a few years ago one of my first mods in the right direction.

Yea My car was pretty quiet with the 3" X and 2 1/2 race pro's, and 2 1/2 tails. I am wondering what a 3 1/2 X , and 3" exiting the X into 3" ultra flows and tails will sound like , I made a video yesterday of mine with open headers, but it sound's like crap, Dunno if the video recorder was picking up weird resonance or what, but it sure sounds tough other than that crappy humming sound! Carb was sticking on the throttle plates again in back and wouldn't let it idle down, minor issue .. Oh well its running and just got minor stuff for spring now!

How about making clearance on your floorpans to use a bigger case muffler..is your back seat usable..or does it have one?

I thought about cutting a notch out of the longer mufflers like lee did too as a option possibly? The back seat is out ,but don't want to do anything to the floor pans..

Here's a video link to some videos of my 68 GTO and my brother's 69 GTO. My 68 has a 3" exhaust w/x-pipe and 3" Flowmaster Super 44's. My brother's Executioner 69 GTO has 3" pipes with an H-pipe and Super 44's with 3" tailpipes. The 505 on the dyno is in my brother's 69.

Looks like a nasty wear mark on the inside of your drivers slick...your suspension hitting your rubber?

Good eye Steve we did find a a bolt incorrectly installed before we set out.
Not as bad as it looks, more of a scuff.

Video of mine is in my signature (first link), only idle.

Setup is in my signature, exhaust system is: heddman hussler 1 3/4" to 3", 3" pipes to dynomax super turbos before the rear axle.

Second link is at maple grove with cutouts open.
