Anyone use these before? How do they sound? They came in a kit I got for the 'cuda, but I'm not sure if I want to use them.
Thanks!

I had them. They are OK. I ended up removing them and swapping with Hooker Aero Chambers, adding a crossover tube and adding cone shaped tips.
I didn't like the "pulsing" sound my cam had from bank to bank when on the throttle. The cross-over tube helped that a lot,but I found that the biggest change to the sound of exhaust was when I fit different tips. I like the sound oval-shaped, mini-megaphone ends. They work the same way flared ends on musical wind instruments do. It smoothes the harshness out of a straight pipe end and sweetens the sound.

I'm running Doug's headers and a 3" system back through 3" OE style tips. My cam is pretty aggressive for a street car. The kit doesn't have a crossover though.

I used them on a couple cars, they are ok sounding and they are cheap. I got the fully welded ones this time, but haven't installed them yet.

I was considering swapping them out for Flowmaster American Thunder 40 series.

You can listen to many brands of mufflers on you tube. It might not be the exact sound on the video, but it is good enough for comparisons and decision making in my opinion. If your car is a keeper, magnaflow and borla make affordable stainless steel muffs with a lifetime warranty.

I'm gonna stick with the Summit mufflers. If after I get them on and I don't like them, then I'll swap them out for something else.

I had them on an '85 Ram with a 318 and cheap Summit headers. They were ok- but not something I would run on one of my nice cars. Just my opinion.
I have Hooker Aero chambers on my Dart and really like them.
