Im currently working on my 71' dart swinger special (slant 6) that my mom left behind and want to make it a bit meatier sounding. Its going to be a cruise car and I want to make sure the car is how she wanted it. Any ideas for exhausts/headers that I could use or any techniques i could do to make it sound louder with good performance? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!! -Elizabeth :supz:

If you plan on getting into the motor wait on the exhaust, if not just run a single 2.25" from the manifold to a Super 50 flowmaster, then 2.5" from the muffler to the bumper
Under 500 dollars honestly is fine! Not the loudest, just a noticeable difference, something that screams muscle!
Hahahah thank you for the advice!! I don't plan on getting into the motor anytime soon!

yep good increase in hp and mpg, sounds better but dosn't drone. If you want it to sound stronger you need to get into the motor and turn up the wick.
^ as 805 said, or even a dynomax super turbo.....they sound good and not overly loud or drone.
Least not on my buddies cars anyways.

Turbo style or Flowmaster might give more HP than a stock muffler, but straight through non-louvered is going to flow way better than either. Take a look at Magnaflow. Work great, and sound mean on pretty much anything, even a slant 6

I find that interesting... I'll put my biased on their sound aside and talk flow. If you know what a boundary lair of air is you know that a 2" tube does not have a "working area" of 2", its less. That said that is a smooth tube, now remove that nice smooth tube for a perforated one.
Chambered or open headers...
i'll throw my car up, super 44 flow with a single 3" axle dump. Not stock obviously.

Ed, I question your exhaust reccomendation. Since the exhaust gasses cool substantially in the muffler dont you wanna go smaller to increase scavenging?
Like run 2.25 to the muffler and 2.125 (2-1/8") from the muffler out? Or are you reccomending the 2.5" out for more sound?
btw I watched your vid and my nipples are now semi hard as well.:glasses7:

well Ted over on .org has the most consistent mpg'ing car ive ever seen. he gained mpg (=efficiency) when going from a full 2.25 exh to a 2.25/2.5" one, and he also lost like 3 mpg from the magnaflow lol.
all i know is it works, i know the exh "cools" as it moves down the line but its still HOT
sweet what brand did you go for?
