#Quiet 3 inch exhaust full

Pypes ExhaustВ supplied the system we got our hands on theirВ 3-inch full exhaust, X-pipe system and dual-exhaust electric cutout kit.В We got the chance to talk with Joe Gallen from Pypes Exhaust about the system as a whole, and he told us that the piping and mufflers areВ composed ofВ 16-gauge, mandrel-bent, 409 stainless steel and the collector reducer and tips areВ polished 304 stainless steel. However, the owner decided he wanted his monstrous machine to have mild street-manners as well. Previously, it was a dedicated drag car and had almost no exhaust system at all вЂ“ simply turndowns off the header collectors. But this power plant вЂ“ old-fashioned though it may be вЂ“ is certainly no slouch, providing the stout machine putting out around 450 at the rear wheels. The Chevelle boasts a no-frills 427В cubic-inch big-block Chevy вЂ“ carbureted, naturally aspirated, and with its original cast-iron heads and solid-lifters. We went to Pypes Exhaust for a system to equip a 1967 Chevelle with both a killer sound and superior performance. But while exhaust modifications do change volumeВ and tone, noise isВ not the only thing affected вЂ“ exhaust flow and consequently performance areВ changed as well. There are countless different exhaust systems, components and alterationsВ available, with each havingВ its own effect on the noise.

Of course, short of modifying or swapping the engine, the exhaust system is really the only way to alter your carвЂ™s sound. And, as many can attest, changing its sound can definitely turn it into a whole new animal. Up there with its appearance and performance, your carвЂ™s voice is likely to be at the top of your list of priorities when it comes to tuning the car to your particular tastes. If youвЂ™re like most car guys, the way your ride sounds is without question one of itsВ most important features.
