    what is with the big pipe alls i got is the stock pipe on my 69.5 and no muffler it sound better than my friends camero with duel 3 inch straight pipe and glass packs from headers back

    so in my opinion leave pipe stock and remove muflers

    Cool! I like it behind the wheel. I always thought behind the wheel let you hear a little more exhaust note than out the back. I know some people don't like that - but a finely tuned V8 has been music to my ears for as long as I can remember - who needs a radio?

    A few years ago a member at the Roundup had pipes and no mufflers on his car and it had to be one of the loudest cars I ever heard. Sounded good but way too loud for the street in my opinion.

    Maverick Man you are lucky!
    Not everybody has a muffler man that can do that type of work.
    I know, I don't!
    I tried every muffler shop in my area when I had my car on the road and NOT ONE of them could do 3 inch over the axles, so I got ugly 2 1/2.

    The car just keeps getting better and looks GREAT!
    Beautiful job and my hats off to your muffler person, he/she is a true credit to the craft.

    I had my over the axles redone today, after puttin in the 9" rear a pumpkin bolt was beatin my pipe on a heavy bump.
    The guy that does my exhaust work said he could easily have done a 3" if I wanted it. Must be because its a 70' that makes it so easy.
    I told him if it changed the tune of the car one bit don't even think about it.
    The one compliment I get more than any other is the way it sounds
    "Man watcha runnin in that thing?":)

    I doubt this is the same one cause you said it was 2002 but it could be... I chopped it up a bit cause it wouldnt fit. They used Full 3" from the headers down.
