Who Makes The Best Exhaust For 75 (c3) Vett.

[jacobjj]

I'm looking for an exhaust that would make that aggressive muscle care sound. I looked into Flowmaste, Borla, Dynomax. I heard Borla mufflers are good but seems kind of pricey to me. I figured I'll ask the people that know best. Let me know. thanks

hi i got dynomax ultra flows on my 79 they sound pretty good, there stainless steel, flow nicely and when u open it up it is nice and loud.

Are the Exhaust for C3's bolt on??

Are the Exhast for c3's (1975 vette) bolt on?

How about a BB/sidepipe sound?

Try chambered exhaust. I love mine!
Great, rumbley roar at WOT and a nice growl at cruising speeds. I can still have a conversation with my nearly deaf husband at cruising speeds. If I shout a bit.

ps...I have given our number out to several members by PM so they could listen to the chambered, and both have since installed chambered exhaust. I'll do the same for you, but we are exchanging heads and it may be 3-6 days before the vette is ready to rumble...
If you're interested, send me a PM and we'll set up a day/time to call each other to share the vette sounds.

Do you want an emissions-legal (Y-pipe into catalytic converter into a second Y-pipe) exhaust? Or true dual pipes?

Only a dual exhaust is going to really sound like a traditional muscle car.

That's what I have. I bought a stainless system from Mid-America, and added stainless DynoMax UltraFlo mufflers. It sounds great, but Maine doesn't have emissions testing, and the safety inspectors generally ignore exhaust modifications on cars this old.

Do a side pipe conversion :booty

If your not into all the noise of flowmaster
then you need MAGNAFLOW. If you have not heard them yet
you need to. they are kick a**.

 

[Copdogcorvettes]

I'd go with either the side pipes or Chambered true duels. Mid America has the complete chambered system and the cost is not really all that bad. Myself I love the look and sound of the side pipes. I have Hookers on mine.

For aggressive, muscle car sound, you can't beat hooker headers and sidepipes (with sts baffles), but from all I've heard about the chambered exhaust, if you're not into sidepipes that'd be the way to go....

DYNOMAX!

The great thing about chambered is that from the rear the car still looks stock. My 71 still had the square chrome tips from the factory but the sounds coming from those tips was anything but stock.

Take Heidi up on the offer to hear hers. I did it for her and she was sold. I'd offer to let you hear mine if I still had my Vette.

Allen's chambered exhaust, true duals (if you are not subject to emission testing).

I have true duals on my 81...the mid america setup so i can switch back to the factory setup for emissions testing. How can I convert my 81 to sidepipes? Does anyone know of a kit to retrofit the sidepipes and headers....or whatever to have the sidepipes?How bout the brackets to hang them? I would love to do it but as of yet I havent seen anything to make this easier.If I could get a kit i would do away with the mid america setup and just retrofit the stock exhaust back on every 2 years or so to pass emissions.I love the look and sound of the sidepipes .If anyone can help I'd apppreciate it. Christmas is coming and I'd love to put this on the list for santa.Then by spring I'd be ready

BTW.....Happy Turkey Day!

Thanks in advance,


Taz

Hooker header sidepipes are a complete exhaust system from the port to the tip, your rocker panels need to be trimmed they would be the easiest (imo) to change back and forth

I come up with part #2238hkr for the headers and #65284 for the side pipes. The techline is closed till monday do you know if that comes with the glass packs and any hardware I may need?





Taz:confused

 

[KenSny]

Sounds like you are only asking about replacing the mufflers and not the exhaust system. Are you keeping the Y-pipe and Cat?
If so then then get a better flowing Cat and use Flowmasters. Nice sound but not excessive.

Again it's subjective, what some think is "cool" others think is "loud". The noise level you can tolerate is really only something only you can evaluate.

I have known a few people who installed sidepipes, with baffles, on their convertibles. After leg burns and never getting used to the noise just behind their ear they went back to standard exhaust routing. One guy I know left the sidepipes in place, not connected of course, for a "cool look" - but I think it looked REALLY dumb......

 

[tazdevl35]

NO I'm replacing the whole system. heads back on a reasonably modified engine. I love it loud and deep .All my older cars had exhaust dumps behind the rear of the drivers door so I not only know the sound I LOVE IT! Thats how it's meant to sound....lean and mean...at least to me it is.

the system consists of three pieces Headers, side pipes and inserts(Mufflers) you can use sts baffles also. Depending on whether you have air or not you may need a bracket to mount your compressor.
If you can afford it get the ceramic coated ones, the black ones you will have to repaint every year and the chrome turn blue after a while if you drive the car alot.
