sorry, im no hillbilly redneck craving loud exhaust. only reason it has been cut off at the cab is the tubes weren't mandrel bent and I didn't like how they were done, tips and all.

lol i can understand you. I just like the muscle sound.

how exactly did you pinpoint 72? prior posts, or labels in my photobucket album? Im guessing the other thread.

figured as much.

as for a "muscle sound" a lopey truck with long tubes built for a truck.....isnt a muscle sound IMO. I have always said trucks have a VERY distinct sound compared to cars. Cars sound 10x better and I wish I would have swapped over to an EFI motor just so it was a roller car motor. All is well though, I hope to have a built 351 or 390 when it's FULLY done. I don't think I will ever get rid of this one, only because it's a first, and everything done to it is by me. Only shop it will see is paint.

straight pipes sound like a loose ******* ripped a big fart. i had them, hated them, put mufflers on to get away from them and couldnt be happier. being a redneck well....if you have to ask, you wouldnt understand why its so bad.
