Rebuildin...Need some opinions
Hello all, I am currently swapping out several things in my 77 Nova Rally and one thing that needs replaced is the exhaust. I put the current exhaust on when I was 16 so its not what I want anymore. I put a set of headers, and cherry bomb header mufflers on there and that worked better than the old rusted up stocker system. Now...I am looking into a full header back, dual exhaust system to put on there. I have been looking into the pypes setups, and I was thinkin pretty hard about the 2.5" X-change system with the violater mufflers. What I needed to know is, has anyone done business with pypes, and are their products as good as they claim. I really wanted a system that I could put on myself in my garage so thats the reason that I came across pypes. Any info would be great! Thanks in advance

Re: Rebuildin...Need some opinions
I don't know much about Pypes either, but a personal preference is dual magnaflow. They put out a great low rumble and wont break the pocketbook either. I am sure almost anything will sound good on a chevy V8 though! I also am a big fan of cut outs, but its all up to you.
good luck - zach |

Re: Rebuildin...Need some opinions
the Magnaflows i have are pretty much unrestricted (i can see right through them) so they dont quiet down too much but they take away the sharp sounds straight pipes make. I am not an exhaust expert, so i cant tell you which are better for quality or preformance, but all the flowmasters i have heard make a slightly higher pitched sound (still sound great, i was looking for the low rumble) I have a fairly mild cam (260 advertised) at the moment, but am upgrading to a higher lift 286 roller soon... will tell you how it sounds!!
when i was getting ready to do my exhaust i asked the mufler shop guy what all the options sounded like and he was really helpful. might try that if you dont trust us |
