ok, then you have the quiet systemin the middle
they never told me that, they were putting xforce and i opted for manta, never mentioned about this loud or quiet thingok, then you have the quiet system
the quiet system is, quiet as the name entails. the system I have on my car is the medium which gives it some v8 noisethey never told me that, they were putting xforce and i opted for manta, never mentioned about this loud or quiet thing
They certainly gave you some "good talk" telling you nonsense like that. Big primaries kills torque with reduced air speed and you always use the smallest primaries that doesn't rob the engine of horsepower. Businesses of presumed knowledge telling people nonsense who are seeking advice in good faith is seriously wrong.Performance shop says they are good and bring good torque.
2inch headers
The first custom V8 exhaust I did was on that basis, it was an HQ 253 panel van and I did a twin 2" off stock manifolds with 18" Can Am hotdogs no balance pipe. It was a loud "thong clapper" extreme and the van got some notoriety for it's awesome exhaust note in the day!I always ask for as loud as f@*k as no exhaust ever sounds loud enough for me.

If you ran a pair of 24" hotdogs each side of the tail shaft and 18" hotdogs in the stock muffler location, no balance pipe off stock manifolds, gave a 253 a more 350 Chev note. 308's were a bit quieter than 253's and extractors made them quieter mid range and louder on the top end.
I believe pacemaker do a 2 inch primary header extractors a local performance shop in my town uses them on their supercharged ve/vf buildsWho makes 2 inch primaries off-the-shelf?

I played with balance pipes and didn't like them (sound wise) as the V8 thump is we wanted to hear in the day. Late '94 I bought a VR GTS and it sounded like a VL 6 cylinder stock. It had 2 balance (H-pipes) and the next day was a Saturday after collecting the car, I cut through the balance pipes and welded a plate in there to block them off and sounded like a V8 and massively better!I had a 350 SBC in an LX with a twin 3 inch and that's the first time I ever played with a balance pipe and it sounded more like an LS1 than anything else.
I miss the days when without seeing them you knew which one of your mates was prowling around town.
