I want to be obnoxious
« on: September 10, 2009 - 07:37:23 PM »
The 408 stroker is in and running.  With it's open headers it sounds like a the beginning drum solo to Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher"  We put some temporary Cherry Bombs on just to drive it around the block. Just a flexipipe and Cherry Bombs sticking out the side.  Maybe 10% quieter but no way I could drive by a cop. I have a 1997 Camaro with twin cats and a chambered Loudmouth exhaust.   I want the Challenger louder than than that and really rumbling at idle.   The only thing I don't care for is raspy tinny pipe sound.

Suggestions? Videos?

The guy at the muffler shop said if I use 14" Magnaflows I can get loud and low.   Some Flowmasaters have sounded tinny to me.
