Just put on a set of cherry bomb vortex mufflers, removed the cat and replaced it with a piece of 3" pipe. Sounds great.

I've been digging around the interenet and run across this URL, it's a sound clip of a 69 Corvette with Magnaflow Performance mufflers.  You can here what they sound like.  Don't know what the engine size is or if it has headers, cam, etc.  I've also seen them for cars with Flow Master mufflers.

It would be interesting if we could put video clips somewhere like this of how the forum members cars sound and what engine and mods they have.
 
I love hearing a Vette take off.  An older gentleman (I'm 50 to give you a reference on what I think is older) pulled up beside me at a red light yesterday and asked me if my car could fly because it sure sounded like it could.

I should have remembered that the Magnaflow site has sound samples. That '69 sound clip sounds pretty much the same as my '76.Big%20smile

I just LOVE the sound of the Magnaflows!!!
 
When I'm able to do it, that's what I'll be getting.

I was sold on the Magnaflow mufflers when I put one on my '94 Chevy truck with a V6 and it sounded great, much like a V8 sound coming from a single. I traded that good 'ol truck for my Vette and I just couldn't wait to get those Magnaflow Performance Mufflers on her.Big%20smile

Well everyone, I just got my exhaust finished from the headers back.  It turned out great.  I ended up going with the Flo-Pro VForce performance mufflers.  It has a nice sound with some throat!  Just what I was looking for!
