RE: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust question
I ordered a flow master kit, the one without the mufflers. Fit and finish and materials were very nice. I don't like the flowmaster mufflers Ieventually put on (personal preference), but the tube kit wasgood.

No recording and I can't remember! The x pipe does not sound like duals - it's smoother and sounds like the engine is running at a higher rpm at all speeds than duals.

RE: [Chevelle-List] exhaust question
I don't think the Turbo style mufflers will get any deeper, just older and never sound like Flowmasters. Check http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/web10/pages33-34.pdf for their mufflers and/or the American Thunder kit which is the entire exhaust - although you will have to modify it for stock exhaust as they're designed to cut-to-length-fit headers.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Exhaust Question Headers
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I used doug thorley header on my 72 (same/similar to 70 ) and had minimal problems. The place I bought them from, sent me a welded bracket for the A/C. It is much more sturdy than the bent sheet metal brackets that you can buy at almost any parts store. Its been many years, but at that time I called thorley they gave me the name of a distributor. Now summit or jegs or both sell thorley. They have reasonable prices on all headers. Also I know someone who swears by Dynomax headers for a 70. In summit, there ceramic coated headers (the ONLY way to go IMHO) for about $215.00 Last month I got a set for my camaro. Also check dynomax.com for rebate info. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu Jun 28 20:07:16 PDT 2001 Subject: [Chevelle-List] Exhaust Question Headers Hey Guys I'm wondering if anyone has installed headers on there 70 Chevelle small block 350 with an automatic transmission that had air conditioning if so was there a problem with the a/c brackets.
