Maybe it's just the video but yours sounds much louder than SilverBlue's. Are you dumping right out of the muffler? Looks like SilverBlue comes out the sides. I guess that could dampen it a little.
Yes sir, mine dumps out the muffler right at the axle. I'm running 1 3/4 inch long tubes and 3 inch pipe all the way through to include the mufflers. I'm also running an H pipe. I think the thickness of my exhaust set up (most small blocks run 1 5/8 inch headers) may also contribute to the louder sound.
I have also done some research and have come to find that an H pipe gives a car a more muscle car sound where an X pipe gives the car a more raspy sound. Therefore, I prefer an H pipe.
Well it sounds good. But it is loud. But you know that already. I think your car, Shaun's from SoT, and SilverBlue are my three favorites. Not that it matters!
Inspired by HD's thread on installing his pipes. I wonder if on this thread people could record their exhaust sound and note their header(if applicable) /pipes/muffler combo?
