Default Another Side Pipe Question

What big block insert has a noise level somewhere in between the reverse flows and the sweet thunder 2.5's?

My 2.5's are too loud and the reverse flows even though they are modified, just don't sound right.

I am happy with my JCM spiral baffles.
You can start with the caps on and work your way to the level of sound you would like.

My 76 has a blown 496 with hooker sidepipe and exhaust bought at JEtHot.

Are they quiet with the caps on or do they start loud and get louder when you drill the caps?

Dpends what you consider loud. I started without the baffles it was really too loud, put the baffles in it was sort of to quiet(depends of your taste), than we drilled 1/2 inch holes, still didn't like it and next step was to take the caps off( could have tried an 3/4 hole).
It is loud but atleast you can drive and talk to the passenger if you have one. Anyways loud pipes saves lifes
