Hey longhorn,

Thanks for the reply!

I'm thinking I'll be able to replace my exhaust over the winter & I'm sold on the sound of the Magnaflows.

I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

I used Magnaflow, on my 1979. Sounds like a Vet, I can hear the radio on a trip, when I step on it it sounds super. When you step on it who wants to hear the music anyway?

Cleon,

Mine is a '79 also. From what I've seen, lots of the Magnaflows are dual outlet.

I asked at a local speed shop about which Magnaflows would work for my '79 with 2.5 offset single inlet/outlet (I have a true dual 2.5 system). They didn't have a real firm answer on that. I'd be afraid of starting a whole saga of sending mufflers back 'n forth.

Which Magnaflows did you use? Do you know what part or model # they are?

Lem'me know.

Kevin

I have AeroChamber mufflers. Louder than the Magnaflow, but not harsh at low loads. Stop on it and it gets VERY vocal.

Are the Aero Chambers a model made by Magnaflow or are they a separate brand?

Show how much I know, eh?

Yeah, they sounded really good, Ken. I heard them when we met you in Ohio last year. You peeled out and it made all the little hairs on my arms stand up!

John,

Thanks for the part # on the Magnaflows. If I play my cards right, I'll have 'em on the car in a month or so.

Kyster,

Thanks for clearin' that up on the Aero Chambers. I'm sold on the Magnaflows for now.
