Hey Gentz; I have Dynamaxs on my bird and I love the way it sounds. Here in Calif. all the srubs have Flowmasters, so wanted something different. Real happy with what I have!! Hope this helps!! God Bless Eddie

| Y-Guy Gentz: If you want a unique sound, that will have people looking under your "Y", get an old driveshaft, cut it into a couple of 12/20" sections, cap the ends with whatever size piping you're using, and weld'em in. Depending on cam choice, sound is "different" Bill

I make mufflers out of tubing for my GMC inliners like we did 50 years ago. But on my Y blocks, I use Smithy glass packs. That gives them that unmistakable y block sound that they became famous for in the 50's.

| Gentz I have 2 1/2"Dynomax mufflers on my T bird and 2 1/4" on my truck. Both engines are 301" 292s and I am told both sound good. They do not have that old timey rap and they don't backfire on decceleration. They are not too loud unless i get on them then they sound great. There was a noticable improvement in performance when I removed old glass packs and the stock ex manifolds from the truck and replaced them with ramshorns and the Dynomax. The one complaint I have with the Dynomax is that there is a really pronounced resonance in the pass compartment at idle and just off idle speed with both the car and the truck. It is more pronounced in the truck and is quite annoying. I have ridden a lot of miles in another Yblock powered truck that has headers and Flowmasters and never noticed the resonance. I would be interested to know if others with Dynomax mufflers have experienced the same resonance. Eddie??

| Like Eddie, I wanted something different. My 317" Y is running Reds' 2 tube headers 2 1/4" pipes and 2 1/4" Spin Tech mufflers. No resonance in the cab and will still let her talk when getting on it or when backing down from 4,000 rpm in 2nd. TC
You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.TC - Austin, Texas

Hey Doug; I'm running Sanderson's headers-- 331 stroker--- Engle Cam -- John M. engine. I came off the headers with 2 1/2 pipe straight thru the X member to Dynamatt standing up, just behind the back X. (Where the original 56 birds had a resonator) Have not experienced any dronning-- Jeezes I forgot--I have a crossover pipe just before the head pipes go into the mufflers. Bent a curve in the crossover to clear the driveshaft. I really like the way it sounds. Another Thought -- Just want to THANK all you guys that gave your time for our FREEDOM. Because of an accident at 12 years old I could not go; But sure appreciate all you that was able.. GOD LOVE YOU and BLESS YOU ALL Eddie

| Hi Eddie My Bird has equal length headers to 2 1/2" collector with a cross over under the trany and the mufflers in the original location. 2 1/2 Exhaust under rear bumper. The truck as mentioned has rams horns 2 1/4" pipes no crossover and dumps under the bed in front of the axle.
