Default New exhaust

I need to buy a complete dual exhaust. My concern is the noise level. I just finished a 73 Camaro and installed a Flowmaster complete system with headers. It has a loud hollow sound and resonates at cruise. I don't like it.

The corvette I am now doing will not have headers and I am looking for a mellow sound as in " turbo ". The motor will be stock and no cat.

I am looking at the 75 off road system with either their hideway muffler or the Magnaflow muffler from Corvette Central.


Any suggestions? Thanks, Dave

Thanks for the link. I like the sound of the Magnaflow much better than the Flowmaster.

you will like the sound of the Magnaflows, much better than the Flowmasters.
Flowmaster is too loud for normal Hearing comfort level.
