I want something that'll make a bit of noise (so you can hear the lopey cam at idle) but something that has a very low pitch to it. Anyone have any recommendations or sound clips? Thanks!!

If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem

Where are you located in in NY? I am near Albany.
Last summer I installed a beautiful stainless-steel dual-exhaust system from Patrick's. The polished stainless dual-in/dual-out muffler produces too much of a low rumble/roar for my tastes (I like quiet). I might be interested in selling it if I can find and fit standard, baffled, original-style mufflers in the system.
You might be interested in driving my way to hear the muffler, if you are interested in a dual-in/dual-out muffler.

Are they straight through? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 111 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 111 | I have no sound clip, but i have 40 series flowmaster mufflers coming out of my 235 1957 3200. They sound great! Most people are in shock when I open the hood which reveals the inline 6!
I'll work on getting a clip to you | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | They're just standard replacemnet mufflers. The application is for a '70s CJ-7. I beleive they also fit the ford Aerostar vans, too. 2" inlet and outlet, 24' length, approx 8" diameter. Inlet and outlet are staggared.

I now know what I'm doing as soon as I get mine running.

I'll work on getting a clip to you I get the same thing with my Flowmaster 40's. I had glass packs on it before but they were too tinny. I love the sound of the Flowmasters. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 | Here is a sound clip of a 235 with Fentons and Smithy's -- no tailpipes regards, Leon | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | had dual exhaust, fenton headers, and

Are the 40 series the really short ones, like less than 12" long? If you have a part number for them that'd be even better
