Dude. Just chop your muffler (and cat) off. The car sounds like a race car, and it's the cheapest option. It won't go any faster, but it makes a world of psychological difference.

I have a 1976 Duster, which I picked up for a song a few months back. As it happened, i was able to pick it up for a song because the car's underdash wiring was all melted and screwed up. It was also stolen, but that wasn't an issue. Basically, the wiring in the ignition switch got screwed up...

I held it up to the tailpipe last night, fit right over the existing pipe. Had a buddy sit inside the car and gun it. I think I lost about 5 db at high rpm, but the sound frequency didn't change much if at all. I can go one of two ways here: OPTION ONE: throw the magnaflow on. Use a muffler...

did you follow the two guys from Hot Rod on their adventure last month? They flew from LA to arizona, then purchased a 66 buick that hadn't run in thirty years. They then proceeded to drive it home. They left on a tuesday, and got back sunday night. Along the way, they had a plethora of...

My 76 /6 Duster was straight-piped by the previous owner, who also managed to somehow lose the cat. I love the sound. It sounds like a tractor at low rpm, and like a cross between a pissed-off tractor and a motorcycle at high rpm under load. The exhaust system is sort of redneck, but it works...

When I first bought my Duster, we had to hotwire it to get it home. drove it for 2 hours with the ballast resistor out of the picture. Nothing melted, but maybe I just got lucky.

not true, as long as the story behind it (real or made up) is fun to tell.

Name it something over-the-top silly and overstated. Nobody remembers that my best friend's Pontiac is named "Grover." But nobody ever calls my Duster "the duster." Like I said, over the top and memorable.

So, I just spoke with the guy whose name was on the title... sent him a friend request on facebook, and 30 seconds later my phone rings... "suppose you're trying to get the title from me" "actually, I have the title. That's how I got your name." "Oh.... well, my signature is forged." he's...

See, they're initially attracted to it, but then they see the rust and the push bar and they start running away... so I gotta chase after them and hit them with the push bar. Then my navigator drags them off the hood and into the car, where they then escape through the rust holes in the floor...

My 76 Duster is rollin on old vector style rims, 15x7.5, with aggressive off-road L60-15 tires. Fit okay, but i think the car was lifted by its previous owner. I'd go aeros.

Welcome, fellow cheesehead!

yeah I know it was a while ago... do you remember if he was as much of a tool as his car made him seem?

I own a saturn. And a slant six duster. And, trust me, the best way to beat a Saturn in a drag race is to accelerate at a fairly rapid rate. The Saturn may be lighter, and it may have (*gasp*) 100 hp, but it has no torque. Trust me. You have nothing to worry about. Good luck!

Hey, I recently purchased a duster that I think spent some time cruising Janesville in 2009, maybe earlier than that. You recognize it? http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=4941
