I dont know. I have one running out of the left and one running out of the right side of my 64. 350 v-8 in it. I dont know if that would help you in any way.

Check your fuel/air mixture after you install the muffler to make sure you're not running lean afterwards...that's about it!

Try a split manifold on that 292 with .With flow masters.I know you will LOVE it/the sound is one of a kind and you'll pick up a few more HP.Plus maybe a few tickets when you let her rack off is 2nd gear.Go for it.It's a beautful sound from the past.It will turn heads.A cheeper way to go is two cherry booms instead of the flowmasters.Cherry boom mufflers are about 15 or 20 bucks ea grin grin grin grin grin grin

If you get Flowmasters, I'd recommend the three-chamber over the two chamber. The two chambers are really loud for something you're going to drive regularly on the street.

I run split headers and Cherry Bombs with exits in front of the rear wheels in my 64 with 292 and AFB 4-barrel. I love the sound. Yeah, it raps a bit if ya wind it out and back off the gas, but then that's why I put the Cherry Bombs on it.

This is what I run on my '97 GMC pickup (5.7).
Moroso Spiral flow race mufflers

No packing to blow out and they sound good.

I have one on my 235 and it sounds pretty decent. It's a little loud when I lay into it but it has a real nice idle to it.

What series flowmasters would you run. Lots of people run the 40 series but there are 2 kinds The original Flow and the delta flow? Im really leaning to the split manifold with Flowmasters on it. KCMONGO's truck has the sound that i want my truck to have.

Another one to consider is the magnaflow muffler.They sound more like the old glasspacks.

Save your money, run straight pipes. I have two of the old smitty's still in the box. Just can't part with the straight pipes...even on my v/8..some of the club memebers are cutting OFF their mufflers, even on any v/6 engines. A little loud but man it sounds good. They call my 37 the little obnoxious pickup. Ha, they love it!!!
