Default exhaust

Okay, people. I got a question. I've tried several different exhaust combo's, and am still looking for the right package. I'm looking for the best sound and power possible, without spending alot of money in the process. I have a true H pipe on now, pacesetter headers, ( I know they aren't the best, but i'm kinda on a budget,) dual cutouts with electric caps, and 12" glass pacs dumped before the rear end. I want to have the best flow, sound possible. Any suggestions?

You could either loose the glasspacks and try a different muffler that or/and you can add another set of quality mufflers .

Dual cutouts would be worthless on a dumped TD setup. I'd look at 3" duals with Flowmaster 1-chambers. Glass packs are for '73 ford mudboggers, not F-cars.

Our cars sound like ****, it's a hard reality to face, but we have to. The Flowmaster 1-chambers are one of the only things that help. They also don't blow the packing out overtime and become REALLY shitty sounding.

I've thought about the single chamber flows before, just worried about clearance issues. i have it dumped before the rearend now, and have exactly 3 inches of clearance at the lowest point, (due to a 2 inch drop in suspension which is going to be going back up. I hate the fact of dragging *** everytime i hit a freakin pebble. I'll keep the QA1's on it, and switch to drag springs in the rear, but am selling the hotchkis lowering springs.) What's the flow on the single chamber's compared to the LM?

i honestly hated the 1 chaimbers, they were on the car for about 3 days and went with a CORSA system. best exhaust mod for a N/A car IMO
