Thanks for the pic. Yes, that does tuck up pretty nicely. Definitely going to consider the mangnaflow system when the time comes. thanks

I have a pypes system on mine with flowmaster 50s. I love the way it looks factory

Thats exactly what I'm looking for. Couple questions on that exhaust.

Do you recall the part number for the exhaust?
Are the pipes straight or is there an X or H ?
Are the mufflers offset in and center out ?
Are you using a stock type hanger at the rear of the muffler (or did you have to drill)?

Thanks in advance. If you have any other pics of the exhaust, please post up.
thanks

its 2 1/2 from headers to bumper. no X pipe. original muffs were in-offset out-center. the tails are accually listed for a 72 monte,but fit awesome,but you need a offset offset muff.. the first t-pipes they sent were straight from axel to bumper,i did not like that. so he got on the horn and talked to a pypes rep.the fit in unbelievable..

Awesome pics. Those muffs are tucked just the way I want them. Stock location. Any recall on the kit part number?? Or did you just order for a 72 monte?

by 1973 454 MONTE Wed Nov 12, 2014 7:29 pm

I might have numbers on my slip. but we are in the middle of a remodel and im not sure where it is. he said they were for a 72 monte.
I told him from the get-go they had to look like this.....

and not hang under 1/4 panel and go straight out under bumper

Really nice installation !! Very Happy

Did the stock muff hangers need any mods? Since the.flowmasters are offset out and stock muffs are center out. Your muffs are nicely centered.

by 1973 454 MONTE Sat Nov 15, 2014 2:38 pm

they used a stock hole and drilled another. looks very factory

by Joe73 Sat Nov 15, 2014 3:06 pm

Very nice. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!!!

My system is the Magnaflow 15894. It fits good and sounds great.

Nice tucked exhaust. I'll be going with 73 montes recommendation. No X pipe for me. I don't want to mellow the.tone.

X2..nice tucked in pipes.

I used an H pipe to try & make things quieter. It's all stainless, including Borla mufflers. In fact, this past evening I did some mods to the left tail pipe to make it fit better. The tail pipes are for a '72, which wont fit my '75 Elco without some mods.. It's plenty loud even with the H pipe !

Nice Pila!

Is there a better hanger I could use on the rear pipes? I used the U bolts cause that all I had at the time but you can see the end of the bolts from the side of the car. I would like to use something more flush with the pipe so its more hidden.

by Joe73 Wed Oct 26, 2016 8:45 am

can you rotate.the clamp? That's what I usually do so the threads.don't hang down.

I thought of that as soon as I hit "send". Thinking aloud helps sometimes. That should probably work. I don't think there is anything that would get in the way if the bolts are going up instead of down.

Speaking of exhaust notes, when i first Got my chevelle on the street after years of restoring it i had cherrybombs on it. Nice when you want to Wake up the neighbors, bit not cool when driving long trips. The drone makes me crazy. So i bought flowmaster hushpower and made an H pipe. It sounds ok, loud when you stomp on it and mellow when cruising. So all is cool but i have always be interested in the sound that modern musclecars have, right now we have a new hemi challenger in the shop with borla mufflers on it, and i have a wery destinct sound that i have only heard on newer cars. Is that from the borla muffs only? And i can just buy those? Or is there more to it, i mean a newer camaro with a 350 is not that different from mine exept age and fuel injektion and cats. So do anyone have an ideer If i could get the same sound? Not that im not happy with the Way it sounds right now, but those borla makes a much more mean and potent sound. Mine is just loud.

Some time back, a member on here posted a muffler comparison chart. It listed mufflers according to HP & torque as well as decibels of noise....Maybe a search would turn it up....

EDIT...here it is....

I chose Borla mufflers from that list....

by Hs1973 Sat Oct 29, 2016 12:17 pm

Thank you. But i already did a exstensive search on the Web and on youtube for sound examples before going with the hushpower muf. And it fits all the things i was looking for, but it dosent have that exact sound im looking for. I have only heard that on the newer musclecars. So ill try the borla muffs next and see what happens

by fasrnur Sat Oct 29, 2016 5:23 pm

It may be a bit long and I might have posted this here before, but if I could afford them and could figure out how to fit them in mine, I'd do it in a heart beat. I love the sound of 180 degree headers. Very Happy

This guy lives not too far from me and I would love to run across him sometime to see and hear it in person.
