Flowmaster exhausts, are they really that tinny? I'm looking into buying my set up soon TTI for headers and I'm not 100% sure on the muffler system yet. Any pointers welcome........
I was thinking Borla. :D HP gain isn't what I'm after just wanting this engine to breath well, also get performance I guess but it's not to important as you'll get performance from any set up. 8)

This is what I was going to get for my 70 Challenger:

TTI Headers: 1-7/8'' Primaries to 3" collectors, 2-1/2 for the rest of the system. :D Sound good?!? :?: 8)

You may want to check with TTI. When I bought the system they sent me this:

TTI systems were designed to use the DynoMax Super Turbo Mufflers. Using other mufflers may require modification to the muffler slips (cutting & welding) for proper fit and alignment due to the muffler case length and width differences.

Using mufflers longer than TTI systems were designed for will require shortening the outlet end of the H-pipe.

Using mufflers shorter than TTI systems were designed for will require Slip-Connectors for additional length.

They also told me that the Flow Masters were Loud! I went with the DynoMax, which sound good, and fit great. Just my 2c

You could also go with some nice side pipes, tips, and a flamethrower kit... :twisted: Imagine the look on the competitions face when you shoot some nice flames after doing a nice lil burnout! :lol:

I am running a mopar crate motor, 402/435, which is a magnum 360 with a 4-inch stroke. The idle sounds nice and deep. I live in a community with a golf course as my back yard, and I'll tell you that those old farts in the plaid trousers look quite cross when I goose it.... :twisted: Sounds perfect to me!

Oh Dave, I also had it set up with the electric flame tips that pulse to the beat of the ba-zillion watt stereo, and with a flip of a switch, a disco ball comes out of the head liner... :wink:
