I have spent over $1050.00 for a new exhaust system and headers and I am still NOT happy with the sound. I have 2.5" pipes, removed CATS, (after I paid for them), Ravin 55 Mufflers, and Hooker Headers.

The car is a 1977 350, L-48. I don't want anything extremely loud, but I want a rumble, muscle car sound. Its just a little too tin can sounding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How are the ravens constructed? Do they contain any type of packing, or are they an all-metal design?

Sell the Ravens on Ebay. Buy some Flowmasters. 3 chamber will be less noisy than a 2 chamber and still provide the umph your looking for when you stomp on it.

I'm not familar with the sound of your Raven 55's, but if you install an H-pipe or an X-pipe, you'd probably get a small performance increase along with a great new sound with increased resonance. It might take some of tinny sound out.

You don't say what type of cam you have. The cam has alot to do you sound as it's the overlap of the valves that gives that muscle sound.

Headers are going to give you that tink tink sound on a small block. I have header/H-pipe/ and open chamber mufflers which sounds rumbly, but rattles every bolt in the car. Switch to the Flow's and you will be happy, then you will switch back to turbos after your hearing is gone. :lol:

Try out the Summit Performance Turbo Mufflers, only like 16 bucks, NICE rumble at idle, and little noise at cruising speeds.

Dynomax Super Turbo's. Classic warm rumble. Not expensive either.

I've got flowmasters on mine and they're not too loud and have a nice sound when you get on it! :yesnod:

I have pretty much the same set up as you VETTECOR. I have Hooker Competition Headers, 2.5" pipes, and Magna Flow Mufflers. I love the sound of the Magna Flows. But then my engine has 10.25:1 compression, and the GM 300 horse cam. I think that might have alot to do with the sound my car makes coming out those pipes too.
