mufflers

Bud Lefevre · 07-31-2008, 06:24 AM

I run Flowmaster 1 chamber race mufflers , didn't see any difference with or without them on the car. Installed an X pipe and picked up .2.
Does any stocker's run an X pipe on an open exhaust ?

I`ve gone back and forth with the Dynomax Bullet mufflers on my V 6 Stocker,and the car didn`t change at all. Never changed the timing or jetting either. They just added about 30 pounds to the car,which quickly came out of the weight box. The mufflers do sound nice though.

why would you want to put mufflers on in the first place?

-unless you are running IHRA pure stock?

Well Chris,with running mufflers my ears don`t ring after the races anymore. Also,I bracket race a lot,and an awful lot of tracks are requiring mufflers anymore due to subdivisions being built closer to racetracks. I kinda figured it was a headstart to the day it was manditory.

With mufflers you can run with the street car association on a Pro tree in ET categories that your car will fit . No traveling ,no big membership fee ,street gas , and so on . Sounds like fun to me.. Mike

Ralph Popora has run an X-pipe on his A/S Camaro. Look him up on auto imagery, I think the pics from Bristol 2006 show the X-pipe.

I think Evan Smith runs or has tried one on his H/S Mustang Cobra.
