My 69 383 Super Bee is super loud. Currently has a set of old rusty headers, and matching crappy exhaust. I was thinking of going to a stock exhaust mainifold, and then maybe a flowmaster system, or even a stock type system. I wnat the car to be used as a daily driver, and I don't want it too loud, but still want it to sound good. So any advice on a good system? If I go to stock manifolds, is it possible to get a performance set of factory manifolds, and what should I look for? Or, maybe just a new set of headers? Pleas advise. Thanks, Mike

For a street car. I'm a fan of manifolds. There are several good systems out there. I have manifolds and 2.5" TTI full exhaust on my Road Runner. Accurate is also excellent. If money is tight check with your local shops for a custom bent system by them off the manifolds, it won't be mandrel bent. but plenty good. Headers? You get what you pay for Doug's or TTI's are good money, but will stand up to daily use... $100 headers will be loud, leak, and rott just like they always have.

HP mannys are what you want come off the head pipe flange and bump the pipe to a larger size and run you choise of muffs have a local muff shop bend you up a set of custom pipes and weld all the connections could even have a cross over put in or a X pipe to help flow and HP a bit
