Muffler delete tail pipes
Thinking of pulling the Magnaflow mufflers and finding some muffler delete tailpipes to put in their place, with a "hockey stick" horizontal exit under the bumper as opposed to the 45 degree angle drop exit tips the stock mufflers have.
Anyone know where to get a "muffler delete" pipe for both sides? Searched hi and low, find them for Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds, etc, but not for the late model C3 I have.
Lastly, how much louder is it really? I had no mufflers but a cat before I did the CC Magnaflow complete dual system, I thought it was very quiet, assuming the cat was muffling the exhaust.
Thanks.

A Cat reduces the ear-piercing "Rap" very much.
I have true duals on my '34 350SBC carbed street truck with a mini cat under each header and a pair of chrome Harley Davidson 2" I.D. mufflers at the back bumpers-----deep/throaty/mellow side while idling and cruising.......hi=perf Vette sound at aggressive throttle!

Having duals with no type of muffler system-cat or straight throughs like magna flow-will be very loud and, in my opinion, not sound very flattering. It will sound like a boat with an inboard V8 which generally have no mufflers. If I was going to run no mufflers, I think I would at least run 1 high flow cat on each bank to reduce the noise "harshness" or the chambered pipes. Forum member, Karol, has the magna flow system on his 78 L-82 4 speed on his slightly modified (cam only) L-82 and his car is very loud, especially at full throttle. I have 2,5 inch duals, Shorty headers and Monza Turbo Mufflers (not a chambered muffler but not quite straight through) and with my fairly stock L-82, it was moderately loud at WOT. Same exact system, with the newly rebuilt L-82 355 with roller cam, AFR heads, and 10.2:1 compression is now VERY loud at WOT-it sounds like a NASCAR stocker at WOT with the MUCH better flowing heads and much higher compression. Why? The new L-82 is flowing MUCH more air and producing somewhere north of 400+ Gross HP versus 275-280 Gross HP before the rebuild. Point is the motor will determine how loud the exhaust is more than you think.
