This is a good thread.
My 72 has "MIDAS Customs". (previous owner)
Quiet as a 77 Cadillac.
Even quiet at full throttle. Pisses me off ! 
I think I will go with a set of standard Turbos ... I am sure they will flow mo betta and sound better.

I read through all the postings on this subject. People seem to be lumping all Flowmaster opinions based on the original 40 Series muffler. I've been looking into their other mufflers and they have developed a product line called "Delta Flow". The alleged benefit is better flow than the original 40 Series, aka American Thunder, and the sound is less annoying in the cockpit. The Delta Flow 40 is supposed to sound similar to the original 40, but there is also a Delta Flow 50 that is more mellow. I really liked the sound clip for the DF 50.

Does anybody have firsthand experience with these new Flowmaster Delta Flow mufflers?

Do you have an X-pipe or balance pipe on your chambered system ?? I am considering a chambered system on my '68 SB and was wondering what everyone is using for the balance/X-pipe. Are the pre-made ones as good as a muffler shop made one ??

Chambered exhaust and balance pipe..
There is not a crossover with the exhaust. I have been looking at fitting one, but the crimped sections and other interferance makes it a bit of a challenge. I believe it would sound a little better and add some improvement. Has anyone fitted a crossover to one?
