68 charger 440 exhaust
Posted: Fri Oct 01, 04 4:14 pm
hi people, i am new to this site and it is excellent. i have just shipped a 68 R/T no. matching charger in amazingly rust free shape from texas and i am slowly preparing it for an mot.(the mechanicals were not that good!) whats the best exhaust system size to give the best performance from a 440 and give the best note/v8 sound without being too offensive to neighbours etc! i fancy a 3" system -is this too big?
the engine is standard apart from headers, but i want to fit an aftermarket intake manifold and mild street cam at a later date.
i was thinking of exiting the system downwards before the axle (the car is well sealed underneath) as it eliminates all the bends and hassle of going round the axle,shocks and tank? i had this set-up on a 69 firebird and it worked well.
what do you all think?, best set-up? which mufflers to use?
can anybody recomend a supplier in this country?
thanks
sean
p.s. do we as members of the M.M.A. get any discount of spares suppliers, if so which ones?
