What should I do?

[79Transam]

Well I got a 79 Trans am with a 6.6L 403. Everything in the engine is pretty much stock except i took the belt off going to my air condintioning and their was a ticking in my motor so i want up town and found out it was from my emissions system so the guy took the thing out. So the ticking stoped but and he put two new mufflers on it sence they both had holes in them. Anyway I want it to sound better and be loud without being so loud that i get pulled over and I have no idea what i should do. Theres so many chooses for mufflers and glass packs and i dont know anything about them. So so hopefully someone could give me some advice on what would be the best sounding and loud glass packs, mufflers, or whatever to get for my car. Also I know there where alot of laws and stuff put out that made these engine not as powerful as some of the early ones so if anyone know anything i can do to make this car better that'd be awsome! Thanks.

get a set of hedman long tube 1 5/8 primarys and a pair of flowmasters 2 chamber series 40's

as for power how much cash do you have to spend?

[79Transam]

Well i'm keeping the car forever so i got forever to do it but im young now and just want to get some cheap power cause i got school and stuff

[petereggy]

ok well exhaust will give you a good boost on power and it will sound awsome

for your next step start looking for a cam and intake, then after that do a full rebuild with forged pistons and a new carb, after that get some new alluminum heads or have yours ported alot and then hit it with some nitrous to finnish it off, but before heads you could think about having your posi rebuilt and a new set of gears

after all that work have fun hitting 11's in the 1/4

[79Transam]

Thanks for the advice.

Cutout!

[79Transam]

what??? why did you say "Cutout!".

[chickenkicker]

Exhaust cutout, lets you switch from regular exhaust system to open headers.

rip out the 403 and put in a early 70's 455 olds bolts right in everything still hooks up hate to say it 403 are junk motors (good for just drivin to and fro)

[petereggy]

i agree with the 455 in it but the 403 is still a decent motor

[79Transam]

On the flowmaster website it says the 80 series mufflers are louder but I dont know if they would fit on my car does anyone know?

[79Transam]

Also there different sizes and shapes and stuff for each kind of muffler does anyone know which size and everything i need?

[petereggy]

the 80 series is for a single exhaust setup it goes behind the diff mouted sideways and verticly they are loud for single with dual tips but not as loud as true dual with the 40 series

just get a pair for center in/out 2.5's and go to an exhaust shop and have dual put in also do headers...

[79Transam]

Anyone know the best place to get the best headers for my car and the best place to get the 40 series mufflers?

[79Transam]

They told me the center in/out 2.5's are discountinued is this true and if so where can i get them or which other ones should i get?
