The most restricted aspect of the total air pump (the eng) typically is the ex. I would suggest mandrel bends. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I would hear 383 Roadrunners idle past me like at Carlisle and they would sound way cooler, Also mine did sound good at WOT, but I couldn't do that alot. 2004 Dodge Rumble Bee 5.7 Hemi 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner

It's the best of both worlds, and you can open them a little or all the way to suit the venue. I've since had the entire exhaust system coated in black ceramic. It looks much cooler now. 7015062-IMG_0971(Large).jpg (351 downloads) 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

Still have a snarly bark when goosing it,too. Engine temps will come down,and you will see better fuel economy. I did with the TTi 2-1/2 inch system with Dynomax Super Turbo's.. The X pipe has more flow,but recommend it for a more powerful motor that is more strip/street. Last edited by 68Cbarge; 01/12/12 10:50 PM.

Call Accurate and tell them what your looking for as they have and do alot of stuff not shown on their web page. Nice stuff.

X-pipe will give a bit more HP. You can hear my car on this clip as I have Dyno-Max Ultra-Flows on it. Ron http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYIM2HLaOI4&feature=related
