Default Re: Pypes cross-flow exhaust question

Search YouTube for several vids of our yellow '69 Yenko Camaro racing, and anything 2008 or newer will be with stock manifolds+Pypes transverse system...look under my YT username (Chevyls6), or "PureStockDrags" on YouTube has some video of me as well...

I have the Pypes cross flow (Race Pro muffler)header back set up on my 70 L78 Nova. At idle, and very sedate crusing, it is a very reasonable noise level, as Marlon stated,no resonance inside the car but when you jump on it, holy sh... it gets LOUD,almost like a full length straight thru exhaust system.I personally love the sound. IMO a very good compromise, good quality components too. I had a few inital fitment issues (turned out being a slightly bent header) and was near the Pypes facility, they told me to stop by, they put the car on a lift and had a tech re-do/and weld the entire system on the cuff.! very nice people to deal with.

As I recall Samuel, I reached out and you didn't reach back. you were uncharacteristically busy that day.

What?? I remember you were coming down but got cancelled because of the rain. Did not know that you rescheduled. Was I not home? Unless I am losing my mind. I only live 5 minutes from there. Always got time for you Sully, always.
