My new to me /6 engine will be here tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Now I need headers and muffler of some sort. What are you using? I was thinking of using a set of megaphones, but would that be to loud? I will be AXing the car so while I really don't care how loud I want to make sure I can keep it under 110db.

Thanks

When I put my six in I'll be sporting a pair of megaphones with cookie cutters.
IMO there's no such thing as too loud.
It seems that all of the Northern California guys run mufflers and the Southern California guys run open exhaust.
I'm in the middle and most of the guys I know around here run the loudest open exhaust possible!

i like the sound of my mufflers. they're completely open. the dia. you see on the end is the same as the through pipe, you can look straight through them!

they're quieter than the magephones. in fact, PMS use to sell them as "Laguna Mufflers" as they pass the sound check at laguna going uphill on full throttle ...

they're attached to the muffler bearings, adds some extra HP utilizing the exhaust gas pressure ...

Depends on your engine and intake system.

We are running a stock 3.2 with an Oxygen sensor.

It needs some back pressure, or it does not run well.

We are running headers from George Narbel (European Racing Headers), (great headers) in Henderson NV 702-433-9189, and a sport muffler from PP with dual outlets, with the exit pipes cut off to about 6" long.......

Seems to work well and is quiet enough for the street (I don't know how legal it is, but quiet enough).

I have the choice of the Bursch headers or the stock HE's with a factory Sport muffler... make that a "factory muffler" that has been modified to be a sport muffler. I've yet to decide on the headers vs. the HE's Both are sitting in the attic in the garage.

I doubt either one would change my hp rating much.

That's far and away the nicest exhaust bracket I've ever seen. Your whole car is really nice isn't it? My car looks like an old John Deere product that's been spliced together by 4 generations of farmers.

A lot of you'z guys don't believe in balance pipes, eh?
That's good especially if we meet at an AX. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I use a Dansk single outlet on MSDS headers. I have a certain joy when I quietly pass big loud race cars on the track. I'm thinking of going to a dual outlet sport muffler for venues where I dont need to meet 92 db limit. My high reving motor could stand to exhale a little easier.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) some of the cars out there are all loud but no uhmpf. loud does not equal fast ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

the dual mufflers from PMS are surprisingly quiet and i like it that way ...
