def give it a week or 2 to break in....i had to even let my exhaust break in when i swapped to a o/r h-pipe even tho i had had the mufflers on my car for like a year..it will mellow out and get a lil quieter with time

HC can also mean High Compression usualy people get H/C/I heads cam intake

Ok well i drove it around for a while today and it is kind of growing on me. It sounds pretty good above 2500 so i just have to start getting the revs higher when i drive. When its in low rpms it just sounds like a really low pitched droneing tone that just doesnt change. Im planning on going catless to actually try to get some rasp and free it up a little, then it should sound pretty good. After that if i still dont like it ill switch out mufflers.


John- i thought you were coming to the hooters show tonight you could have heard it.

i couldnt i go to school at UTI and i have evening classes from 150 to 805 PM thats why im hopeing we can do the dyno on a sat or sun

the only other option i have is getting next simester classes switched to morning but then i have to bee at school at 550 AM until 1205 and im not really a morning person unless im getting payed and im up doing something and not sitting in a heated/AC classes room

Im installing a true dual bassani setupsat. I hope it doesnt sound like ****. They sounded pretty nice every other timeIve heard them, not to loud, just right. I had to go with a pypes X pipe though cuc im to lazy to go to the shop and have the mid pipe made. They usually rip me off anyway.

Yea definetly dont listen to my opinion, seriously, my other car ruins me im sure if this was my first car or first exhaust system or somthing i would probably think it sounds great.

yea i was also saposed to go to the cruise and show in quaker town but i had my car inthe shop and they had to rebuild the entire rear end

Picking a fight?

As for the cam, it changes the idle and overall sound a lot. This guy is asking if he could get quieter mufflers for cheap, because he doesn't want to spend a lot. You're proposing Cobra mufflers with a cam to improve his sound. But that's not what he's asking. Give anyone on here with duals an aggresive enough cam and their sound will improve.

As for the short and long block thing, I was told a 4.6L is just a shortblock..so I quickly said that 3.8L is a shortblock as well. I didn't even think about the fact that a short block is just the block and pistons, and the long block is the whole engine. So you got me there, congrats.

And show us the dyno sheets. Because I haven't heard of anyone gaining 50rwhp for tune, ported heads and a cam.

i know a short is just lower and long is the entire motor but whats the difference in small block and big block or is it just chevys wau of saying short and long
