I have glass packs with full tailpipes and I had cut outs. All my friends tell me the old Y souds better through the glass packs then open pipes!  Old Vicky has a quiet rumble at idle but wakes up the neighbours if I stand on her! I suggest going glass packs or "Smithy's" on a street car.

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

I think kids have been doing that to "glasspacks" forever, one of the first things I learned when I started messin' with cars.

I think straight pipes will be far too loud. I like to have the sound level as a direct complement to the performance level; If it doesn't run 9 seconds in the 1/4, it doesn't need to sound like it might.



A 2" pipe should be fine. You won't be able to go much bigger with manifolds as you will run into sealing issues.

Im running brockman mello-tone steelpacks, and they sound awesome.  Just lou enough, but REALLY healthy...I like them MUCH better than the smittys i ran prior.

If it is a classic sound you look for try Smitty's mufflers. These mufflers will give your car the old school sound.

I run 3" pipe into 3" turbos (cheep Summit ones) and then turn downs.  I like the sound and I get nothing but compliments.  No grannys in my neighborhood although it really isn't very loud.

I would try either Brockmans, or Porter Glasspacks, and probably 2 1/4" or maybe bigger depending on your motor. The shorter the glasspack the louder, same with other mufflers as well. A equalizer or balance tube between the two side will help if its too loud.

The only engines that sound good with straight pipes are full blown race engines.Far and away the best sounding engines ever are Y-Blocks with stock pipes and glasspack mufflers.
