I has a 1967 with a 396, long tubes and the exhaust dumped right ahead of the 3rd member. Sounded amazing around town, especially when I romped on it. Didn't sound so great at highway speeds, the drone came right up through the floor. As a young man, I loved the sound wherever I drove it, but nobody else did. And now that I'm older (and wiser?!?) I don't think that I'd dump the exhaust like that, just to make drive ability on the highway more tolerable.
You didn't mention a muffler...Did you mean dumped after the third member with a muffler? If this is true, I had no idea that the extra 3 feet after the muffler (aprox) made such a significant difference in sound even say with like a Flowmaster Super 44, but you make a good point since the exhaust is dumped right around the rear end. I'm 33 and I don't want a super loud exhaust. The car is flashy as it is and I don't want it overly loud exhaust. Figuring out the right sound is gonna be a nightmare for me ugh...getting a headache just thinking about it.
