The panty dropper

[WSSix]

Well, I guess I need to do some catching up on this thread. These headers took me way longer and cost a whole lot more than I wanted them to. That's hot rodding though. Nothing to do but suck it up and push forward. I finally drove the car on Sunday. I love the sound. It doesn't sound like a SBC. It sounds way more exotic because the note is smooth and some what hollow/monotone. There's very little to no chop or rumble to the exhaust note. It's quiet until the loud pedal is pressed which is just what I was hoping for.

On to the pictures. I made my own mufflers before I realized I could actually buy similar size mufflers from both Spintech or Flowmaster. The design is a 3 inch thick muffler that's 2.5 inches straight through. I laid fiberglass down first and then stuffed steel wool all around the inside of the muffler before putting the top plate on. I got the idea to do it this way from looking at cut away pictures of Magnaflows and watching videos on youtube. Hopefully, it holds up well.
