    How to quiet down a stroked 383

    Good news here, the 24" glasspacks were too long so I used 18" glasspacks with band clamps. The results are positive, the drone is almost entirely gone, and the overall volume is reduced. Sounds like about the same volume as the original 383 but maybe a little louder, hard to judge. A little...

    How to quiet down a stroked 383

    This is good to know. What I decided to do was install 24" Summit Racing glasspacks between the existing mufflers and tailpipe ends. Will work on those this week and see how they work. Will report back. If they don't work I'll look into the Dynomax Super Turbos, I have heard about those. Thanks!

    Really interesting idea. I like it. I'm talking with Accurate Exhaust out in Oregon about resonators later today. Possibly stock ones, but this is a cool idea.

    How to quiet down a stroked 383

    Had my stock 383 bored and stroked and put back in my 1970 Road Runner last month. Motor has stock manifolds and stock exhaust system. And, it's much louder. On dyno we got 420 hp and 530.5 lbft. Wife says it sounds like a Cigarette boat. Not sure on that, but it is much louder and does have a...
