sidepipes are the way
after going back and forth about under car or sidepipes I ordered maximizer non resonated sidepipes for my big block and plan on running classic chambered 3" inserts ! I hope I like them

I often find myself going slow because the noise gives me the impression I'm going faster than I should be... and I have 2 1/4 sweet thunder chambered baffles on a high compression small block...

interesting choice! Love side pipes!
Would love to know how they sound when finished!
On my 454 4 speed convert 69...i contacted the guys at sweet thunder...and they advised using the C2 pipes for more flow and better sound...hopefully will be on in a couple weeks...

Just curious if something like these would work in a side pipe....you could add them together for quieter operation, and still get good flow @ 31/2" pipes....

it would work...in theory...but alot of fab work...
also, not sure you would want 3.5 or 4 inch pipes...unless race applications...
just crazy loud...
to each their own though...

587 RWHP and 640 FTLB through Hooker sidepipes W/ Maxflows. Keeping the cabin cooler and the looks are well worth the minimal power loss.

your probably right about an under car system that is 3" mandrel bent but the exhaust shop in my area thinks his fingers are actually Midas's and worth gold so it was cheaper to go sidepipes I wasn't going to spend $2,000-@2,500 for exhaust!!!

I have Doug's sidepipe headers on my 73 matching # 4 speed coupe with sweet thunder inserts and just love them.

I may try the more restrictive sweet thunder inserts...either that or an overdrive 200R4 if I can find a good deal on one.

Sidepipes!!
Hooker side tubes with their latest straight thru muffler inserts - maxflow - (but with custom over the frame headers)
And yes, overdrive is a fantastic way to quiet 'em down a bit.

C2 Side Pipes on a C3
I had Allen's Exhaust make me up a set of custom side pipes for my C3. Under the covers they are chambered like the C2's, but they are fitted with the retangular turnouts that the '69 style had.
So, they look like '69 side pipes, but they bark like a '67.
