What makes that stock gurgle exhaust sound? Is it the muffler or resonator or maybe the tips? I'm thinking its the resonators. 70 Challenger

Did I stump the Mopar gods on this one? I want it to sound like the 69 Charger in the movie Dirty Mary Crazy Larry

same reason we drive on parkways and park on driveways.


same reason why "Posi-Traction" works.


We just do, and it just does!




honestly though, I think they're interchangable there's a lot of frequencies and harmonics going on through the exhaust, and it's my opinion that every system is going to be different, different car, different engine, even the same car and engine size it'll have different frequencies based on compression ratio, cam profile, etc. thus there won't really be a 'one exhaust cures all" system.

I am using 2 power sticks welded together on my truck, at 60" long. then a 12" glass packed "resonator" behind those.

I love my sound!
