ok, i im 17 and have a '71 chevelle. it has flowmasters, but i want it louder, something that will set off a car alarm once and awhile, but not anything too crazy!! i was thinking about changing the muffler, but i really dont know what to get, i dont want to buy something and weld it on and find out its not loud enough, or worse too loud. a friend sugested purple hornies? well any advice would be greatly appreciated

The Raptors annoy my neighbours.

First what flow masters do you have? Then what size pipe? and finally do you have headers?

I have the 30s flowmasters and they are really nice sound not extrmemly loud off the gas but on it they become very loud. Friend of mine has the 40 and those sound really nice too. I don't know about you but I do like to stick with a muscle car sound even if it is not the loudest thing out there. Another thing to think about is that if you drive the car alot putting really loud mufflers on may have a very loud sound INSIDE the car too and become rather annoying.

I had Glass packs on my car, very loud!!! then went to Flowmaster Super 40 I also found them loud but not as loud and got rid of the raspyness of the glass packs and gave it a deeper sound. Thats just my opinion tho

I have pair on my white caprice, they come right after the headers. When I drive with them uncapped I can barely hear myself think.

Cherry bomb glass packs bolted directly to the headers, no tailpipe extensions. Had many complaints from neighbors. Next best thing to open headers!
