Poll:How many people here love your car's to be loud;good sounding dual exhaust?

I for one love loud sounding cars w/ dual exhaust, you can hear a vehicle w/ an loud exhaust system comin from blocks away, and most of them sound pretty good. Quiet cars are good for long distant trips/vacations, but for around town and for shorter distances, give me a good sounding car w/ duals. :bglasses:

 

My car sounds awesome

I have TA headers with 2 1/2 dual flowmasters that drop down at the rear diff. i also have corks so i can go open header. then its really loud! :TU:

 

Loud!

Gotta love the V8 dual exhaust sound!
Brute strength translated into soundwaves...

 

Well, ...

... I've got dual Flowmasters on my Skylark, and a dual Raven exhaust on my truck, and I really like that, Harley's sound nice - loud's kinda OK. But I'd like to also go on record and state that it must be tasteful. I don't care much for the sound of a car grunting and farting and dragging its exhaust on the ground, and

I REALLY HATE THOSE HIGH REVVING KWAKS AND SUZIES, AND THE SOUND OF MEGA-WATT STEREOS AND SUB-WOOFERS, BLARING RAP MUSIC FROM RICERS, STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


thanks for listening, I feel better now.

 

loud

When I originally purchased my 71 Skylark it had an old rusty stock dual exhaust. Then I changed the system to 2 1/2 inch flowmasters using the 40 series mufflers (on stock 350 motor and manifolds) - now the car sounds awesome - a great improvement.

MT headers and 3" mandrell bent with Flowmasters. Ya gotta love the sound. :Brow:

 

There's nothing like going WOT and hearing it bounce off of houses 1/2 a mile away!

 

There's nothing that goes along better with a sound of duals than a fully open Q-Jet, gotta love them both :laugh:

 

Maybe I'm a dork but... what about good soudning and Quiet? Like Duals with Dynomax Super Turbo's?

And what about bad sounding loud, like the open header 4 cylinder that runs up and down your street after the engine swap? (doesn't that happen to you?)

Ok, Just being Devil's Advocate... I like 'em loud until I pull in and my neighbors kids are asleep.

 

Nothing gets me cranked up more than cruising with the top down listening to that big block purr! I like the medium loud dual exhaust that is fairly normal - until you step on it!

 

Buick engines have a unique tone.
Share it with the world! :Brow:

Needs to be just right though, I hate an exhuast that reverbs through the whole car at 30 MPH. :af:

 

Mine used to be whisper quiet at idle and then loud at speed

Now with the new cam, it's loud period and my neighbors sure ain't gonna like that at 6 am. Usually I say screw 'em, it's legal so deal but it's hard to make points with the girls up the street when you interrupt their sleep with some old car every weekday. Plus some folks have babies here too. I suspect I won't be a hero

 

I have to agree Dale.The first time I drove my GS years ago I commented about the unique engine/exhaust tone.I like my Hookers going to Super Turbos :TU: Later,Tony.

 

tone

I like the gutsy sound of the 60 s muscle cars but cant seem to find that in a muffler any more. SO I make my own mufflers and put on big pipes while I am at it. I get a low growl that doesnt change over time and is low restriction. It takes a 500lb gorilla to pick up one of my mufflers, but they last a lifetime and only cost me about $20. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

Not loud, but with a nice low rumble. :Brow:

 

I must be getting old...but I'm trying for an exhaust that's dead quiet at idle, but has little or no restriction. Read David Vizard's article on exhaust, it's interesting.

Sleepers!!!

 

I Love It...

LOUD. I WANNA HEAR IT LOUD-STANDING AT THE FENCE AT CECIL COUNTY WHILE A 8 SEC CAR IS DOING A BURNOUT (BUICK) LOUD! :3gears:

 

The best sound comes out the carb at WOT.

The exhaust doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the carb sound!

-Bob Cunningham

 

i prefer a car that is quiet until you mash the pedal. Bob

 

Now that's some fun there, I have a friend that has a '72 chevelle SS 454 w/ headers/flowmaster 40 series muffs and we love to cruise the main st. sometiems later at night when its quiet-er and we get a kick out of bouncing the soundwaves off the houses going down the street. :laugh:
