That is coming out of my new GT as soon as I get it home. I don't want to hear that goofy noise coming out from around my feet. Why mess up a nice quiet ride? The exhaust sounds great, but that doesn't mean I want to hear it when the windows are closed. It reminds me of this little bike they used to have when I was a kid, it had a plastic "engine" that made all these grrrr sounds when you pedaled around. Anyone for playing cards in the Mustang spokes ?????

NOW Thats the good old days and that is one of the things that I love about mine I know that sound my self! Flip the breather top over and you got a hotrod! I hate to say it, but nothing sounds like a breather top flipped over on a Rochester Quadraajet when you kick in the secondaries. My mother had a 75 Caprise Classic Convertable with a 350, I kept that breather top turned over, unknownst to my father. My dad had a 72 Cady with a 472 that he never drove, so I drove it to high school with the breather top flipped over, that thang soundedd like a jet boat taking off! The 75 Ford Wagon with the 400 that my dad had sounded pretty good, and the front end rose higher, but still it did not sound like a quadrajet!

Should make the winter months (when the windows are up) more enjoyable. I swear my car feels quicker with the windows up, probably because of the sound from this thing. And yes, it definitely resembles an old 4 barrel.

So, instead of Ford offering a performance exhaust system for a few dollars more, they went with this thing. I like it. But, with my exhaust, I can take it or leave it. I do not know how to take it off. Its going to take some kind of plug or something.

Anyone that has gone for a ride in my car complements it as well. To each his own though.

On my '78 Z28 with louder mufflers, I can't hear the Holly 4b kick in much.

They are suppose to be the "loud" mufflers from magnaflow. The sound is INCREDIBLY DEEP. However, when romping on the gas, you can still hear the engine tube sound thingy (whats the official name of this thing anyway?)

I had also read somewhere that there was insulation in this tube and that you could take it out to make it louder, has anyone looked into or tried this? I looked at the tube and it didn't really look like there was much room for anything in there it just looked like a hollow tube but who knows I'm off this weekend maybe I'll take a gander myself...

The sound from the tube is the engine, not the exhaust. And I like the idea. Whats the point of having a "pony car" if you never get to hear the ponies when unleashed??? If you want a quiet car, get a luxury car, BMW, Marcedes etc. Reply With Quote #14 (permalink) Old 08-14-09, 09:00 PM Blackout737 Blackout737 is offline Join Date: July 2009 Member Location: Tennessee Posts: 26 Quote: Originally Posted by YSUsteven View Post Whats the point of having a "pony car" if you never get to hear the ponies when unleashed???
