Big or little V-8, they all sound right with the proper mufflers. My 53 Ford
Vicky with 286 inches of very warm flathead exits thru a pair of Smithys and
1 1/2" pipes. Pure nostalgia sound.
OTOH my 68 Impala SS-396 convertible has a pair of NOS Thrush glasspacks
and 2 1/2" pipes. Especially loud and intimidating when I drop down a gear
on the Interstates for a little bit of show and tell. It really rattles the
SUV crowd who "think" that they are fast!
Im 66 going on 25.
