Your car is sweet and it sounds almost erotic. What do you have for exhaust, beyond the headers?

That car sounds awesome!

I've seen it many times. The whine of the gear drive really gets your attention. I always love hearing it as it pulls out of the trailer and idles across the parking lot.

Thanks for the compliments....

Dave64 : It has a full 3" exhaust with a set of race mufflers....

nassau66427 : Your car sounds great...nothing comes close to a cammed up big block with sidepipes .... each show season it looks better than it did the last...

Kool. Which mufflers? I'll have 2 1/2" system, but am looking for good-sounding mufflers.

Dave64 -- The mufflers are "free flow" turbo/race mufflers from Summit Racing....3" inlet/outlet....I don't remember the exact part number.... I wanted the least restrictive "quiet" muffler that would mount at the stock location and look "correct"....There are better sounding mufflers out there....It seems every time I walk through the pits when I'm at the race track, I hear something better sounding..... Alot of what you hear in the video clip has more to do with motor than muffler
