This time you can use a good muffler, not a noisy chambered one. |

Not sure what you are going for sound wise but heads up that there is not much 'muffling' going on with a Moroso spiral flow.

As in following about 100yds back not only did Schultz drowned out my hooker, but vibrated my floorboards enough to give a nice foot massage. |

Why even run a muffler then? I can still talk on my phone with the 454 on straight pipe. Until i start it, then forget it. Jeremy clarkson calls it a loud pedal for a reason. Lol. |

No worries man, like I said, not sure what you are looking for. Was just a heads up.
Sounds like it would be a good choice for you based on what you want.
When I ran them I was running dual 3" exhaust on a fairly healthy 383.

It's all good man. You want it loud these should help. They have kind of a unique sound too and not very spendy.

so since I can't decide on what I what to do for exhaust yet, I figured I should try patch my flowmaster and move it to the stock location
started with this
I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it cuz the rest of the exhaust is quite the hack job
First time welding with flux core wire so the welds are kinda bubble gummy |

I hope the fuel line isn't as close to the exhaust as it appears in that pic! _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

True. Factory routing. But the factory wasn't a braided AN line. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56
