383 massive cam and dual 3" exhaust video..
My camera sucks but you get the idea...the pic that is shaking like crazy is me resting against the car...it shakes lol I still have some bugs to work out..like my exhaust seems to have shifted when it was welded but it's a simple fix...then the intake gasket leaks oil out the rear of the valley..no biggie. Next it needs dyno tuned. It's been so long since I drove a car with power that this thing scares the **** outta me. I havent taken the car past half throttle but at 1/2 throttle it throws the 275's up in smoke without effort I'll start with the nitrous once I get used to this car as is now...
Sound on my digi isn't that great either but you get the idea..I built 90% of this exhaust myself...it is 3" from the headers back with an h-pipe and flowmaster 40's out back...I thinks it's too loud especially with the huge stall....
This is also my first time posting a vid link so hopefully it comes out.

I run something similar and it's still so loud. It almost makes you want to not even want to take it out. Makes a bad street car.

Set the camera down behind the car & go do some revs. The idle sounds wicked. I wanna hear the revs from behind!

Re: 383 massive cam and dual 3" exhaust video..
i'll do that tomorrow!
anyways here's some pics of the exhaust as I was making it. the flowmasters and the pipes that go over the axle were from a member on here...but I made the rest by cuttin and splicing 3" mandrel bends.


----------
couple more..


Then it was all tig'd but left into 4 pieces.. the front piece goes just past the H-Pipe, the second sweeps up then the 2 over axle pieces it makes it easy to take on and off

Re: 383 massive cam and dual 3" exhaust video..
dude sounds great.
do me a facvor and throw that air cleaner away
that aif filter can in no way flow what that motor needs for air
get a good 14"x3" at least.

Damn, tiny cleaner. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/K-N-A...=p4506.c0.m245
Atleast use something like that. But that aside, nasty ride. I would like a set of those pipes, I'm no welder but when my motor is done i may be shooting you a PM

It sounds like I'll be building a turbo kit for my buddy Gunner823.Like my old one. So I'm sure I'll get real popular after that LOL

Yeah that is bad-a$$!!! Whoo! He's right though... That is an awesome sound to go cruising with, but if you are going to drive it to work or for a long trip, it gets old quick!! LOL, I have taken the stereo out of a few of my cars and replaced it with gauges, due to the fact, I couldnt hear it anymore!! LOL I'm jealous!!! NICE!!!
