okay, so now that Suzy's runnin, and she's cooled off quite a bit , she needs some pipes! i pulled the muffler off and she sounds good (real good) but i'd like a true duel exhaust without having hit up a muffler shop or buy headers, etc...any ideas, photos, or suggestions for true dual straight pipes would be appreciated. P.S. where i'm from emissions don't mean sqaut!!!
thanks
Click the link in my sig. "hear my truck here". Its 2 1/2" true duals, magnaflows, 22" echo tips & factory manifolds. It sounds good, but I like Flowmaster mufflers better.

hell yeah sounds excellent, but i'm not gonna run mufflers for the simple fact that "loud pipes save lives" but it does sound really good. thanks papabug. by the way, love the disco disco in the man cave!!!
Hell, on youtube, I get more compliments on the lights in the shop than I do the truck !!
torquemonger, I ran straights on my truck for a couple of years when I was driving it to highschool. I loved it. 302's have a nice sound straight piped. Not too loud & not alot of popping next to say, a SBC with straights. I have half a mind to go back to straights. Matter of fact, I drove to the muffler shop today to have it done. Pulled into the parking lot & talked myself out of it. If I would have had the extra cash on me I would have canned the Magnaflows & went back to straights.
Im not happy with the magnaflows at all.....

never ever talk yourself outta straight pipes i still havent tackled my pipes yet, been busy workin think ive got it all planned out tho the old 352 with straight pipes and bent up tips in front of the rears should do nicely!!!
I have stock manifolds, 2 1/2 thru dual flowmasters. fairly quiet idle but good sound when you hit the gas. a friend of mine has a 70 f100 390 with straight pipes and really doesnt sound good. small blocks sound much better with no mufflers.
