Here's a simple trick to make your six banger sound very Kool. I put 6" diameter exhaust tips on my '40. Not only did they give the car a little more 'tude, it caused the sound to have a lot more b*** and volume. I guess just like a megaphone. I do have 3" cast split manifolds, a big cam, and chambered mufflers, but those tips made it sound like a BB chevy! Sweet sounds while cruzin. RapRap 1940 ChoppedChevyCoupe
Royal Shifter, I read your bio and I agree 100%! ol 'skool rules! I'm from the ol 'skool days and have always liked the "billet-less" rods. Of course, back in the 50's & 60's, only the working guys with cash had their cars painted. Most were rattle can primered. I'm originally from the S.F. bay area so I really know hotrods. My '40 is a shiny example of ol 'skool.
