Inliners International Forums General Discussion Hi Performance mufflers for chevy 292..any reccomendations??

i have a chevy 292 in a 53 chevy pickup, using tom langdons exhaust flanges, motor has 9.5:1 comp ratio, head is lumped ported polished 194 valves crower level 3 cam, edlebroc 500 with clifford heated manifold and roller rockers, this is probally way to much info but someone might ask,, Im getting ready to finish the truck and I remember Mr langdon saying something about usng a perforated muffler,, looking for reccomendations on what to use.. any help is always appreciated, there always is a wealth of knowledge on here at any given time,,

I like the sound of a six thru a single exhaust but your build sounds like at least 250hp, so to me you're on the ragged edge of getting away with even a 3" single.

2" duals, glasspacks with a H-pipe might be nice and are ok to 250-280hp or so. Maybe what Langdon meant is if you get glasspacks, get the kind that are perforated and do NOT have louvers sticking out into the flow.

your probally right its been sometime since we had the conversation,, I just looked up porter mufflers their website is pretty cool, Im definately gonna do duels, Duece coupe I really appreciate the info..were hoping to be in 300 bracket,, keeping my fingers crossed.. thanks again..

flowmasters

+1 for the porters. I personally hate flowmasters with a passion. Mufflers are like oil, everyone has an opinion. YMMV.
