My exhaust is just two straight pipes so I grabbed 2 glasspacks 2 1/4 in n out I believe and just gonna throw those on I thought 2 1/4 was kinda small any thoughts?

 

What size is your current exhaust?

For your 260HP engine that is probably not running right due to carb issues a single 2.5 would probably work.

 

My carb iis fine now btw

 

Dual 2.25 is still more than enough for your engine.

 

Thank you

 

put two classic chambered powerstick mufflers on there instead it looks like a glasspack but sounds waaaaaay different, glasspacks sound like ****.

 

There ok sound better then straight pipes ,but I want the exhaust to come out the back, so I was thinking of getting two pipes and a 4 chamber or 4outlet muffler and sticking it right underneath a lot of people do the glasspack with flowmaster it would sound great too I bet or just get two long pipes and have the exhaust come out back no flowmeter.but my mechanic.said there'd be clearance issues but if I jack up the back I don't think I will any ideas?

 

Looks fairly decent. Careful if you have to deal with salt. Those rust out easy. I personally would paint them black so they blend in and make the tips pop.

I am sure it sounds better, never liked straight pipes on just about anything.

Personally I would save up, get a custom Y pipe made and use a factory replacement 3" catback.

 

Midias I want it black too,what kind of paint would I use? I had bigger tips picked out too

 

Go to your local store and get high temp paint for engines or headers. They are fairly far back so anything over 500F should work. Clean the surface properly and scuff it up with some sand paper.

Edit:

Also take the stickers off them before paint.

 

I have a 2.25" true dual exhaust on my camaro with a pair of glasspacks mounted sideways under the rear bumper.vthe tips come out the back in the same position as the stock cross flow muffler. Sounds great, and I have no problems jacking up the rear from the differential. You can't see the glasspacks just standing behind the car.

 

Not related to the exhaust, but is your breather a triangular edelbrock proflo or similar? (looks like a fly's head, metal mesh with foam filter). I ask because it looks like one in the first pic

If so I'd recommend swapping it out for a different breather altogether. Those do a couple of things that are bad:

1. they can act like a wick and soak up fuel (so one backfire through the carb and you become a candle)

2. if and when you backfire through the carb and scorch the underside of the foam it gets charred and gets sucked into the engine

Both are bad, and both are avoidable if you get a different air cleaner, even one with just a paper filter.
