I'm looking at a few sets of chambered for my cars, '61 409/425Hp and '69 ZL-1 Nova. BUT I'm looking at 3" chambered not no little whimpy OEM stuff?

Anyone know of these guys:

YEAH BUDDY!...that along with white painted vintage 4-flange headers and dumps on the COPO...

...as some may recall I bought these on eBay (they were NOS) and the guy shipped them from Mexico and US Customs was nice enough to drill about 8 holes in them and just tossed them back in the box never repackaging them evidently looking for drugs...I'm guessing they were trying to find their next fix...found out the dark Ford Blue hi-temp enamel color is a dead-ringer for the thrush blue, welded the holes closed and repainted...I'm just grateful they drilled in the blue and not into the artwork...

Question, any idea how long the graphics will stay on
mufflers such as Tiger glasspacks or Thrush?
Thinking about purchasing either one but concerned
the graphics will fade away after running them for awhile.
Thanks

The graphics are painted so they'll &quot;stay on&quot; for a while...as far as keeping the nice clean look...not long...couple hours at best...likely start seeing yellowing of the white in several minutes of normal engine running...

I thought I had a better shot of the cherry bombs under my car, they dump out under the rear seats.



The original Wisconsin owner said he first ran walker mufflers (sticker still under hood), and he had it dumping out just in front of the rear tire (I have old pictures of that).

I am a fan of the cherry bomb, and plan to never change the Camaro, but have to wonder how walkers sound. I also like the purple hornies (because they were on a 340 cuda I just bought). I think you can buy those new?

Here is the only video w/ sound capture of my car, with some other members. You have to scroll down a bit to see the video, once you click on the link. The car sounds bad-ass in person, at idle especially. Not so bad in the clip if you turn it up.

Appliance headers.

Yes, Flowtech makes the Purple Hornies now. I really want to put a set on my grandfather's 68 Camaro.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!

If you're going to hang just the PHs off the headers -- you may want to support the end of the mufflers or you may have issues keeping the header bolts tight. Just sayin' ... TAZ

None the less -- it will have a bitchin' sound!
