Ebay. I got two for the price of one a long time ago.. They were the regular 40s. It was for my 78 Chevy pick up.

yeah im pissed cus i welded one of these in and was wondering why is sounded quiet
the 50 series delta flows are for trucks that are too loud
what other companys make a good muffler for cheap?
straight pipes would be too loud with no cats? i know what it sounds like with no tail pipes and muffler, but wounder if with just straight pipes if would be so loud

yeah probably. really i just want it to sound nice at an idle, and dont want it too loud at wot. want it to sound deep and throaty at an idle. these flows i got aint gunna work cus they are 3 chamber and just too quiet. i might but a kit from some place so i can get ne stainless tips and the whole works. i found some bbk headers for 150, just the standard chrome ones, why would i want ceramic? and i geuss equal length gains like possibly 5 more ponies. exaust wise whats my best deal for price vrs gains and sound?
i figure i cant lose getting this stuff even though my car is a bit rough and high milage cus my next car will be a 87-93. i work at a car lot and i drive it all except cobras and i just know the new mustangs offer nothing for me, altough its saw we got a 06 v6 thats faster feeling than the 01gt 5spd we got and the 01 has some bolt ons like headers, exaust and underdrive pulleys. they are both verts, the 06 v6 feels nicer and its an auto, we just got a 06 auto gt with 26k and it wanted to spin em just moving it on the lot so i cant wait to take it out for a spin, gotta ask the whole saler first, but oviously i cant afford a 23000 car as a lot boy making $10hr. and its the only stang i have touched newer that seems to have potential, and im sure its the 4 valve motor too, so thats why. the new ones all are pony balogna,lol. i need a cobra or a nice fox so for now i wanna update my exaust right, to where i can swap it onto a new fox later if i want. the kits look like u can bolt up everything with no welds and take it apart later, cost alot more but hell for 500 its kinda tempting, especially since my tips dont hang right no more and one is buggered at the end from my accident. would it be a bad idea to have my muffler guy do my entire exaust with no h pipe all straight to the mufflers no cats?
