'66 Nova Update

Looking GREAT John !!

1 Muffler - and not 2 ? Interesting. More info and other pics plz ? Just wondering if the single unit flows enough air for your supercharged application. Might be a great solution for my project since I have almost zero space in the back to run mufflers. (looking at something like the C3 setup)

Keep up the awesome work Team NovaWerks !!

It is a stainless muffler design for a Power stroke or duramax engine. They go through one muffler. So I think we will have room to spare as far as CFM through the muffler. It is a DNA muffler. They sound pretty good. We had to completely rework both ends to make the merge into the muffler from 2 3" pipes to one 5.5" muffler.

I might have a better pic of the merge.

Build it now, I am sure you can afford it, LOL !!!!!!!!!!

Why go throught this whole build and do a stock internal LS7? They dont have a good track record stock with boost !

Procharger is telling us that there should be no issues as long as we don't get too crazy with the boost!

I know this sounds crazy but I've even contemplated pulling the LS7 and running a boosted LS3!(I know, I'm out of my mind!)

I was thinking of leaving it like that but Rodger would like to add a solid sheetmetal piece that will clear the hinge. Wadda ya think?

you could probably run a pretty seriously pumped up LS3 for the cost of that LS7... but then again, maybe with all the trouble you'd have to go through to arrange/make the swap it wouldnt be worth it.

for what its worth, a cammed LS7 sounds pretty amazing.
