    Suggestions for muscle car sound muffler without drone

    Magnaflows are very similar in design to the Dynomax Ultraflows. I've used both to good effect. I currently have the ultraflows on my car and everyone at the track is always telling me how quiet my car is. haha.

    what mufflers should i use for my 318 Dodge Demon

    I would go 2.5" on the exhaust size. Super Turbos are great. If they're too quiet you can go with Ultra Flows. Manifolds tend to be quieter than headers, so keep that in mind. Steve

    Any good pics of cheapy universal style mopar headers?

    Those look pretty much exactly like my hookers. Hookers might hang slightly lower actually. Install was a ****. Getting on the #5 and #7 plugs (and routing the wires so they don't burn up) is a pain in the rear. But, haven't flattened them yet (knock wood) and the car runs good. Also...

    TTI Exhaust system

    With the TTi headers, the TTi exhaust system is a pretty easy fit and the hangers and such all work well. I particularly like how they include longer rear seat belt bolts to attach the muffler hangers. You should not need an exhaust shop to install it for you, if you are inclined to do it...

    Factory 340 manifold exhaust pipes

    TTi sells pipes to mate your HP manifolds to their (or other) exhaust systems.

    WHich Header??

    Those flanges wouldn't fit any small block mopar I've ever seen.

    WHich Header??

    I would really recommend biting the bullet and buying the headers you want the first time. This is not a job you want to do twice. Go with the stock manifolds for camshaft break-in to spare the coating. Due to indecisiveness, I have actually had several different header solutions. I ended up...

    TTI exhaust too loud

    Hey" I've got Hooker Comps, TTi X, TTi muffler section, but I'm running dumps instead of tailpipes. I get a LOT of resonance in the car, and the exhaust itself is pretty darn loud. Granted my car also has the stock sound deadening (aka none). I am thinking of trying the Dynomax Ultra Flow...

    It's spelled: Advice not advise You're, not your With the setup you describe, I think your car actually has more of a white-trash inbreeder sound than a "fagget" sound. Therefore, I wouldn't change it. Civilized humanity appreciates the warning that there's an illiterate hillbilly coming...

    My advice: If you're going to be a bigot at least learn to frigging spell, so you don't look like a moron also.

    hooker super comp headers

    My 1-3/4 super comps had flanges on them when I bought them.

    magnum headers

    The LA headers work on the magnum engines. I've got a set of Hooker Comp headers on my car. Oddly, however, the 340 manifolds don't seem to fit right on the magnum heads.

    Unsolicited advice

    There are spots on the TTi stuff that they acknowledge should be welded, but they give you clamps to hold it together until you get to the muffler shop. I always have those multi piece sections welded together anyway. I wouldn't put anything on my car that wasn't mandrel bent. Even the OEMs...

    A Body Shorty Stainless Headers

    I also had a set of headers for a Mustang that was different than anything currently offered for the A bodies. It was a Bassani set of full length step tubes. However, the tubes were separate from the collectors. You put the tubes on one at a time, and then smacked the collectors on. It made...

    A Body Shorty Stainless Headers

    I can totally dig that, and they are awesome looking headers. The reason for my suggestion was just that (sadly) I see a lot fewer Mopars on the track than I do on the street/show scene, and there are constant requests here and elsewhere about people looking for an easy to install header as...

    A Body Shorty Stainless Headers

    A set of unequal length headers would be a massive improvement over stock manifolds. Most of these cars aren't very fast anyways, so people aren't going to spend the extra money just for a small amount of horsepower, especially if the install is a *****. If you can sell them horsepower and a...

    A Body Shorty Stainless Headers

    I think a set of shorty headers with unequal length tubes (for ease of install) would be a BIG hit. Think about it. People pay $450 for 37 year old cast iron manifolds because they want an easy install more than they want absolute maximum power. Ford, BBK and others have sold about a jillion...

    HI-PO Exhaust manifolds or Dougs Headers?

    If you're not going to go to the track, headers are not worth the trouble in my opinion. They make street driving worse. More heat in the engine compartment, a ton more noise, and you have to worry about dragging them on everything. You usually have to take the steering linkage apart. Maybe...

    HI-PO Exhaust manifolds or Dougs Headers?

    Are you going to take it to the track? If no, then manifolds for sure.

    340 exhaust manifold questions

    I am sure as the RPMs increase the headers go on to claim a huge advantage. I'm betting the hp manifolds will widen the gap on the 318s as the rpms increase also.

    340 exhaust manifold questions

    It depends on which year you get for the passenger side. The swept back units like I have (pictured above) require the 90* adapter. The later ones have a "center dump" manifold that doesn't require the adapter. The swept back units supposedly have better performance. I've read the article...

    So, TTi says my Hookers are made wrong, are they full of crap?

    BINGO! The adapters were cheap enough at $65.00, but the exhaust system was $500 or something. Which is a lot of money for aluminized pipe. Mustang guys get stainless for that much (oh, and it fits). fstfsh: This is in a '71 Dart.

    340 exhaust manifold questions

    Mine says 548 on the passenger manifold. Is it the same as a 549? If they're decent, $250 is an awesome price. I paid $450 for mine. You'd need a 90* oil filter adapter (unless your car came with one like my 318), and a hardware kit which seems to run from $50 $65.00. I don't know what...

    So, TTi says my Hookers are made wrong, are they full of crap?

    I think that makes a gigantic difference. Nice to hear that maybe their stock manifold exhaust pipes are worthwhile.

    So, TTi says my Hookers are made wrong, are they full of crap?

    Edit: Oh, forget it. I was going to go off on a tirade about how the pipes that connect the header adapters to the X are wider than the cutouts in my crossmember, or show pics of how the primary tubes in my TTi headers were all kinked vs. the ultra cheap Hookers that aren't but its just not...

    So, TTi says my Hookers are made wrong, are they full of crap?

    OK, thats out and out bullshit. Sorry, no other way to say it. TTI Rep: "We make ours in a jig, I think Hooker just guesses at it". Perhaps I should have named the thread, "TTi says my fitment issues are Hooker's fault" if we want to be pedantic about it. Unfortunately I can't change the...

    Headers that DO fit - and DON'T fit.

    Hey: My headers are Hooker Comp headers. Part #5901. They fit but they're tight. To get them to sit right in the car I had to loosen all the bolts that hold the motor mounts to the block. Scratched them up, but didn't have to dimple the tubes. I can get my mini starter in and out with the...

    need cheap and good headers

    Hey: I also installed the hookers without having to dimple the tubes. I've got a set of Hooker Comp headers sitting here that have never been run. Fitted them up, then decided to go coated, so other than a few scratches, they are just like new. Where are you in Illinois? I'm in Champaign...
