Always wanted to know why..

ive had my firebird for awhile its my first car, got it in 1995, went through hell with it, replaced the engine with a rebuilt and the freaking car is still louder than my 305 z28. Noone ever guesses its only a v6. the exhaust is brand new i always wondered why.

me and a friend were lookin at this 87 2.8 , it had the stock exhaust on it, it sounded just like a stocker 305. i have never heard a 2.8 sound like that.

my exhaust is getting real loud, i guess the dynomax is breaking in... i love it... its way louder than my dads flowmaster 87 305.
makes ya wonder.

What systems do both cars have? Or are they generic mufflers?

So both cars had generic exhaust systems (muffler & pipes), and now both have Edelbrock systems?
