Here is how mine sounds. 2-1/4" headers into 3" exhaust through Flowmaster 50 Series and TTi factory style exhaust tips.  No droning to speak of. Chryco-Psycho has spent some seat time in the car. He can attest to that. My car starts about 2:15 seconds into the video...   :burnout:

Ken the BEAST along with Kim's I'd guess?  BIGS like!!!!!  :burnout:  :2thumbs:

Thanks BIGS...  Yep, that was Kim's Dart when it had the 360 in it. That engine was sold to a member here for an "E" body project. The Dart now has a 500" BB Mopar based on a 440 in it. It runs 10.20's with a little spray and 10.90's N/A now...    :burnout:    :2thumbs:

I had the resonators removed because the baffles were rattling and they always seemed to be in the way.  I soon found out that my mufflers were also shot. I had the mufflers replaced with DynoMax Super Turbos and love the sound. You can talk easily when idling and driving down the street and all hell breaks lose with you tromp it . :D

That is my favorite sound. Subtle, but stout when idling and at slow cruise. But serious when you hammer the LOUD pedal.....     :burnout:   :cheers:

When I had my 68 roadrunner I had thrush hush muffs on it. Kind of quiet but still a mean sound. Now running the muffs thAt came with my pypes kit load and dumbly. People say it sounds good but I'm still on the fence with them. May look into the hush for it

I just purchased the Magnaflows.

These are the round type 14 inches long, 7" round polished.
Now my exhaust will be 2.5" front to back.
