    Just my $0.02. I genuinely LOVE the sound coming out of that Electra in the first video. The combination of the big car / big cam just really sounds like a good time.

    Too bad Harbor Freight doesn't have one for $50, since it's a chinese product...:D
    The reviews seems to be good though.

    IDK, sounds kinda like my buddys 2 cylinder 113 inch Harley.
    IMO, Big cars should be Cadillac like, smooth, quiet, comfortable.

    Took this video the other day. From behind, it has a nice deep sound at idle

    Maybe stock type exhaust for the nice Buick quiet, then electric cut-outs at the red lights?:D

    They are older Flowmaster 3 chamber, long case, before they came out with that Delta-Flow technology. Maybe they were called Dynaflow, Idk... They were included with the American Thunder Exhaust System years ago. They were $100 each if purchased separately back then. Maybe they're burned out..:D:D:D
    The receipt from 2001...
    Cheap! $3 hundy o.t.d.

    LOL that's why i like the sound, I have the same old tech since the late '80, 40 series short case flowmaster. After hearing a few clips on Youtube, I'm going with Walker Dynomax
    Supper turbo.

    That’s the florida cold-start of a Gary Payne 462 iron block, aluminum stage 1 heads, Scotty Brown camshaft, TA headers, full 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust, old Flowmaster 40s.

    just off idle it does this
