I figured what the heck, Im pulling the motor next month anyways. For some reason, it sounded cooler when I was younger. Its NASTY.

Nice vidi... great looking truck! ... yeah, mine sounds like that right now too.. don't particularly care for it.. and the last owner didn't put in a crossover pipe... you can really tell the difference.

Nice truck. I wish I could get by with straights on mine. I like it. I guess like you said it is a young thing!! I will have to settle with duals and mufflers. Cool truck and looks great though.

Thanks guys. Yup, it must be a highschool thing. It sounds like azz. But it will get your attention, thats for sure. I originally took it to the shop to get the doughnut gasket fixed...AGAIN ! & my muffler guy said my manifold had finally rusted out. So, Looks like I will be getting headers. I need a good excuse. Considering I have 3 sets of small block manifolds......

I got out of high school and out of college, and I'm still young enought to like it! Excuse is....... If I put back old manifolds, they'll just turn out in the same shape. Forget to mention that headers rust too!!!!!!! That was my excuse. It worked for me! Or, there is the excuse that is what I want, and I wont be happy til I do it!

I think it sounds too tinney and chuggy. I like how dual glasspacks, with headers sound on an fe.

It is VERY raspy. I think that is the word. RASPY.

there you go again making me drool over your beautiful bump again.

I wonder how much trouble i could get into straight piping/open headers with my '71 (with 429).
Yep, im still in high school

In all honesty, I cant keep it like this. Its just God awlful loud.

thats a very nice truck. I am in college and have got to where I like mufflers. My maverick has header mufflers and its way to loud. What kind of mufflers are you going to put on it
