muffler inserts
anyone have car chemistry inserts. my stock sidepipes are only 1 7/8 on the inlet. would like to go to a three inch pipe, possibly with inserts insted of mufflers. loud is good ,but sound is important.. would they sound like factory sidepipes. oh ,these are going under factory sidepipe covers...

Surveyor - I've been trying to find a source for the black painted Hooker headers with the outside pipes for my '71 but no luck. Do you know a source on the internet or through a catalog? What is the price for them?
Thanks.

I use them, but I have a full exhaust system with Borla mufflers at the back. As a whole system I am pleased with it, but for your application I have no idea how they would sound. Hopefully somebody here has used them in sidepipes.

There are mufflers called Spiral Turbo Baffles which have been found to be much better than the glasspacks.

if you have fabrication ability look at the Auger mufflers sold by www.speedwaymotors.com They are $15 each and I used 3 per side. They are almost too quiet, quieter than the stock mufflers, and this is with a 450hp smallblock 427.
They flow really well too, I picked up abour 4" of vacuum when I switched from the stock mufflers
