so i been thinking about changing my exhaust a bit so i could get a better tone. right now im running a stock plymouth falthead 6 with reds headers. with a 25" thrush gl***pack and a generic 12" gl***pack. im using 1.5in pipe all the way to the back, and im not getting the rap i want. i used to have it straight piped and i love the way it rapped but was to loud for a daily driver, so im looking for something a little bit quieter than straight pipe. will the shortest steel pack from mellow tone quite it down a bit more than straight pipes, and i want them to rap a lot. any other suggestions? and i also had one straight pipe and with a thrush gl***pack on the other bank and it was still to loud.
They may quiet down a bit but the steel will most likely burn out to the point that the little Mopar will have a nice rap to it. One of the "older" neighbor kids had a Mopar ragtop that sat about that low and had one of the sweetest pipes I ever heard on it but I have no idea what they were as I was about 13 at the time.
I ran straight pipes out the back, it wasn't loud, and had a nice lope... My 230 was perhaps 7 to 1 tops. It was quiet....
Are the mufflers near the front or the back? (The farther forward, the more rap.) Was the one muffler on the p***enger or driver side? Which side is the long muffler on? The bends in the pipe have a large effect on the volume.
its as far forward i could put them, and the one muffler was on the p***enger, and the long muffler was on the p***enger too
i have a brockman mellowtone steelpack in my kaiser. its a 226 flathead six. single exhaust 2" piping. its not too loud while cruising, raps not too much either. muffler is placed pretty close up front to the engine. heres a sound clip <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lzKRYTbhtT8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Brock can make them with no packing if you like, to eliminate the time it takes to burn out the steel packing.
