I'm thinking about cutting the mufflers of my Galaxie off. I have dual exhaust, and a H pipe just under the tranny, and all pipes are 2". The mufflers I have now are 40 series flowmasters, they sound nice, but a fellow of mine that's building a '47 Merc with a 292 passed with it by my house, I I loved the sound of the straight pipes he has.

My only worry is burning an exhaust valve, with the lack of backpressure.

Anyone run straights?

The sound is AMAZING, and it's not too loud (at least for me).
