When I put the 270 in my '53 in '78 I ran Clifford tube headers and twin glass packs and an "H" pipe. It was fairly quiet and ran strong. Later I ran Fentons into one 3" Flowmaster. It exited in front of the left rear wheel. I liked the sound but I gave up quite a bit of top end. When I drug that off hauling a huge Mopar six home I put on two 2" straight pipes. They went side by side all the way to the bumper. They were LOUD and made less power than the flowmaster. Before heading for Bonneville I put two 28" Cherry Bombs on. I wish I'd gone a little longer. It's still loud enough but not annoying. ( to me ) It runs a bit stronger too. With the straight pipes I drove it to Reno three times and going up Geiger Grade to Virginia City Was not fun. Reno traffic was not fun . I'm not a Cherry Bomb fan but I'll take them over straight pipes any day on a driver.
