WHAT MUFFLERS ARE YALL RUNNING AND PIPES EXHAUST TIPS ON GT VALENCE

WHAT TIPS ARE YALL USING ON YOU GT VALENCE? I DONT REALLY LIKE THE TRUMPETS. I FINALLY THINK I MAY HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT THE VIBRATION IS. ONE OF MY HANGERS HAD BROKE AND IT WAS CAUSING TAIL PIPE TO VIBRATE MOST NOTICEABLE AT 60-70 MPH. THE MUFFLER GUY SAID YOU NEED A SMALLER TIP. HE SHOWED ME WHERE BOTH TIPS WERE RESTING ON THE VALENCE. I HAVE 2 1/2 INCH TAILPIPES AND THEY ARE MANDREL BENTOVER THE REAREND SO DONT REALLY WANT TO CHANGE THEM BUT NEED A SLIMMER TIP TO WHERE IT HAS A LITTLE MORE FLEX. I STILL AINT MASTERED THE ART OF POSTING PICTURES.

GT trumpets, cut at 2.5” diameter part of the taper, welded to 2.5” pipe.  Louvers hammered in, then cut out by cutting the I.D. with a small cutoff wheel.

There are lots of tips available so you can find what you like.  I just prefer the original look. Plus, they fit.


Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

They look great.  Had to fight with the incompetent exhaust guy who said they wouldn't fit.  I can find some better pictures if you'd like.

Re: WHAT MUFFLERS ARE YALL RUNNING AND PIPES EXHAUST TIPS ON GT VALENCE

THINKING ABOUT TAKIG THE 18 YEAR OLD 40 SERIES FLOWMASTERS OFF AND TAKET THE 2.5 TAILPIPES AND GO TO 2 INCH PIPE FROM MUFFLER BACK TO QUITEING IT DOWN AND GET RID OF ANY DRONE. NOT SURE WHAT MUFFLER TO GO WITH.

Re: WHAT MUFFLERS ARE YALL RUNNING AND PIPES EXHAUST TIPS ON GT VALENCE

BILLY, I put Walker Quiet Flows on mine with 2-1/2 inch pipes all the way through. No drone on my car.
The car sounds tough on acceleration and has a nice note on idle, but on the interstate, it's not obnoxious and there is no drone.
Before the Walker Quiet Flows, I used to have cabin noise and drone.

Re: WHAT MUFFLERS ARE YALL RUNNING AND PIPES EXHAUST TIPS ON GT VALENCE

JBA shorties to an X-pipe I modified (part JBA, part Magnaflow) to Magnaflow exhaust ending in factory style GT rolled lip stainless tips I modified to make to a 2-1/2" exhaust pipe.  I built hangers for the tailpipes that allowed me to adjust where they go side to side and up and down so the tips hit the cutouts in the valance perfectly.  I have a '67, so its a bit easier than the earlier cars.

Re: WHAT MUFFLERS ARE YALL RUNNING AND PIPES EXHAUST TIPS ON GT VALENCE

I can't offer comment on Flowmasters BILLY. MS recommended the Walker Quiet Flows to me and shared his experience, so I listened up and took his advice. I love my exhaust system and having conversation while zooming down the freely is no problem for me either.

Re: WHAT MUFFLERS ARE YALL RUNNING AND PIPES EXHAUST TIPS ON GT VALENCE

I used to have flowmaster 50 series on my car.  They were quiet and drone-free on the highway.  Nice powerful sound when accelerating. Only reason I removed them was they are so heavy, and I was chasing the ever-present resonant vibration.  Removing them did not remove the vibration.

Then I found the Quiet Flow mufflers.  They are great, but you do give up a few HP.  NO CONCERNS OVER THAT, though. The sound is perfect.

Re: WHAT MUFFLERS ARE YALL RUNNING AND PIPES EXHAUST TIPS ON GT VALENCE

I have Flow Master 50s on mine. Nice sound and no interior noise. They’re over 10 years old and the sound has gotten better over the years. They really sound good when I stomp it!

I purchased mine from Rock Auto. I think it was the cheapest price at the time.

Re: WHAT MUFFLERS ARE YALL RUNNING AND PIPES EXHAUST TIPS ON GT VALENCE

I was out on the freeway the other night BILLY and was reminded how much I love the Walker Quiet flows on mine. Sounds great on acceleration and its pretty quiet as I cruise along at speed.
Let me know what you think when you get them fitted.

You could just forget the valance with holes in 'em and make some 1/2 holes "eye-brows"!
