too loud?

just bought an 84 with a 350 in it, has headers but no exhaust. now will it be too loud with no cat and dual 12" glass packs? that is the cheapest option for me. i am in a hurry to get it on the road before it starts getting snowy and the roads get salted. in this part of missouri there are no emission checks and as long as it is quieter than a harley it will pass inspection.

no cat and a 10 series flowmaster would sound nice.

Re: too loud?

Never been stopped yet for my Bronco when it ran open headers, or what it runs true dual not cats or mufflers rear tire exit x-piped...

Or Firebird with manifolds, and dual exhaust all the way no cats then dumps into one glasspack and ends...

Re: too loud?

Pick up a Dynomax catback. Summit carries it and its pretty darn inexpensive. 2.5 for fitment reference. It sounds pretty good too. Worried about performance? Get a cutout. Problem solved.

Re: too loud?

If thats the case, you don't want duals with glasspacks. I have the 12" glasspacks on my thirdgen, and there really isn't anything there. They don't neck down or anything. I like them but when i give it hell you can hear me coming from quite a way down the road.
