muffler help

has anyone ever used one of these before does it sound good?

I had one on my 73 autostick(never should have sold it) it had a great sound!!!

ok sweet

anyone have one?

i've heard good and bad about those
lots of people complain that they're too loud but i dont think you're really worried about that lol
btw i still want your header when you get a new set up

yea man ill let u look at it when i take it off and u give me an offer

yea idc how loud lol

prob as loud as mine was.

I have the ceramic coated version on my 71 and I think it sounds pretty good, not too loud but has a nice tone.

from what i've heard, if you have a stock, or stock-ish motor, it'll be fine, but for a bigger motor, it can cause too much backpressure, and cause the motor to overheat the heads badly. The empi gt 4 tip i had on mine overheated the heads bad on my 2074cc motor. it overheated after a 5 minute drive, lol. after installing my stinger, it runs a LOT cooler. I plan to buy a dual quietpack soon. We can actually order them from advance auto brand new. $200 for the header and dual quietpack, i believe. we can also order the 4 tip empi header at advance as well, i forgot how much tho. i wanna say anywhere from $75 to $100.

ok cool guys thanks

Is a 1776 too big for it?

naa. not till you start getting to the 1835/ 1914 area, and bigger. or if you have big valve heads. I have 042 heads (40 & 35.5 valves), centermount 44idf, 1.25 rockers, and its a 2074, and it took LITTERALLY 4-5 minutes to overheat to the point, the dipstick was BURNING hot, and it diesled for 20 seconds after shut down, lol. After swaping to the stinger, it ran a hell of a lot cooler. dipstick is a lot cooler, and it doesn't diesel as bad. the guys at the samba are the ones who told me to yank off that 4 tip, and one guy said that empi one above was just as bad. but for a stock-is motor, its fine.

mines too low and bumpy for a big motor and id get in trouble with one anyway haha

....and I got big valve 041's. Have to find out how big they are....

1776 with 041's? not sure about that. are you already running it, or are thinking about getting one? If you already have it, and you're not overheating, you should be fine. if your thinking about it, i have no idea. I prolly wouldn't, but thats just a guess. I just know, that 4 tip overheated the crap out of my motor . I'd prolly run a stinger with baffle, Phat boy, single quietpack, or dual quietpack. Hideaway's are nice too.

the 4 tips are old an crap the one that kyle is looking at the hardly have any restriction they flow good an have an awsome sound

ahh. i had posted a Q on thesamba, and someone posted a pic of that one, and said, it was just as bad. I personally have no idea tho. I just had experience with the 4 tip, lol.

I have a Cherry Bomb tip on my 4 int 1 headder and it is too loud.
I am planning on putting a tuck away muffler on this vert.
When I get the Cbomb off, I'll see if any one is interested in it, but on the vert, you cannot even hear yourself think with the top down.
