Well like I said before, Im still giving my new valvesprings a proper break in period. They only have maybe 100 miles on them since I put the cam in. As soon as they are good to go, I will make a better video.

wonder if it flows the same or better than the magnaflow???? i just got a hold of cme tip and valance and have been looking to replace my current muffler (flowmaster) with the magnaflow. but this sounds good??? i have the exact same set up as you , minus the cam. but i think it will still be louder than a magnaflow. cant decide now......

The Magnaflow has more of a smooth, exotic sound, where this is more of a raw, muscular sound. I still love Magnaflow...you cant beat it for the price

As far as flow numbers, I really cant say, but I still think Magnaflow is one of the best flowing aftermarket systems on the market

Did you have a Magnaflow cat-back on this prior? If so, why did you switch?

For the third time children, the car will be DRIVEN when the new valvesprings have had a chance to properly break in. So, you will get your revs soon enough tough guy. I just posted this as a first impression, and as stated in the very first post, I will be making a new video. Thanks fellas

! Jeez man, you couldn't possibly have anything else to do, go drive it already!!

J/K!!

Seriously though that is a nice sounding set up. Reminds me of my old big block Olds, which isn't a bad thing.

Pick a new thread to jerk off in buddy. I think your time in this one is over.

If you have 100 miles on it, dont you think your vavle springs have been cycled enough?

Yeah I think they have, but ever since I turned my first wrench, I have always been extra cautious. Can't go wrong that way. I have done quite a few head/cam swaps, and I've always allowed at least 200-300 miles of taking it easy. Then i change oil again and if everything is good to go, now it's time to let her out
