ur just jelious!!!!


the bigger the pipe teh less back pressure you have and thus NO LOW END GO!!!.......a buddy of mine has a 74 ford f100 and the motor is a built 396 and it had 3" full length exhaust with no cats or mufflers and it was loud alright...but then he did the bigger to smaller pipe design and the trick is LOUDER then a semi hittin the jake brake...in a tunnel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes you lose backpressure but if he wants to be LOUD then... for me, i would rather have deep/loud, than just loud and "higher" pitched

but thats just my opinion

straight headers or even straight pipes would just get annoying after awhile.

Your exhaust valves won't last 10 minutes if you run it straight off the block, that's about the worst thing you can do in terms of exhaust... but it would be loud.
