Default How LOUD / QUIET are these???
My 70 350/350 vet currently runs crappy and sounds muted. Once I get the rear end finished and the motor running well, I wanna get it sounding good. I like 'em loud, but not straight pipe loud..... Anybody own these???

'Aint nothing like the sound of American muscle V-8! I think anything that doesn't hinder the sound too much will sound great.

What is wrong with these, They are Allens, The exhaust doctor. I have bought from this guy before. Why pay $200.00 more for the same product and make Echlers fatter than they are.

A friends 78 has Allens chambered exhaust, it sounds great from outside the car and not annoying on the inside.
