I was thinking of going with an open header setup. will the lack of backup exhaust cuase any problems? i have been looking a sound muffleing ideas for open header setups..what do you guys think about this product? http://www.carchemistry.com/ccflanged_inserts.html Thanx guys-james
Don't do it! James, I drove my maverick for a week with an exhaust system consisting of a pair of glass packs welded to my reducers. It was horrible. Trust me, the novelty will wear off very quickly. I now have 3" duals with 40 series Flowmasters and turn downs at the rear axle and it's still pretty noisy, but tolerable inside. Open exhaust is a good way to make you dread driving your hot rod. . How's the '75 treating you?
If you want open exhaust, get those cut outs from jegs. with the pull of a knob, its open. that gives you temporary excitement which is perfect for what I would use it for. : Set off all the alarms of the mercedes and farraris at my rich kid school! haha -todd
Do pack a pair of earplugs, as open exhaust can be permanently damaging. I remember driving my ol 67 stang I used to have 15 miles to the exhaust shop with open headers, man my ears rang when I got out of the car!
my loudness and my 75 ok ok. you guys convinced me i was just wondering if those items that i stated above would work at all........as for the 75....all i can say is its not feeling so good! lol i blew a head gasket and was spewing oil all over. other than that it is fine
Those Flanged Inserts are for the race track not the street, go to a good muffler shop and have them build you a nice system. Yes it's going to cost you some money but you'll be happier in the end. As always just my 02 Terry Gates AKA Bossmav
