I have been looking at them.
Did you get the 2" or the 2 1/4 ?
Please post the results when you get them on.

Set of 2.5s on my 68 427/435 with Hookers. One word "Sweet" you gonna love-em if you have a set of ear plugs. Little Loud but sound great and really let my BB breath.

If you ordered 'em from sweet thunder you won't be wondering long.
I ordered mine last year and they were on my doorstep 3 days later.

Bolted up perfect and sound great. If they're a little loud in first gear that's cause you're not outrunning the sound yet. They quiet down once you pick up some speed.
Really though, they're not overly loud but don't plan on playing anything on your radio that you don't already know the words to.
