I have spent a lot of time on the site but this is my first time posting. I purchased my 1965 Coronet 500 4 years ago site unseen and couldn't have been luckier. I have completed most of the improvements that I wanted to make with the exception of the final exhaust. Looking forward to getting information from the forums.

Welcome sweet looking coronet.
Put up some pictures.
:thumbsup:
 
Welcome. When you're ready to dig into that exhaust, the Mopar Exhaust System forums in the Tech section is the best place to start. Post up some pics here of your 65. It looks like a dandy from what I see in your avatar. Yep, poke around the site for a while and see how we do things here then jump in and enjoy the ride!

Welcome from over Ann Arbor way. If you’re in SE Michigan, I can recommend one of the finest people to do your exhaust, and an incredibly reasonable price. I just had my exhaust done yesterday. It is an H-pipe headpipe, runs into 2 ball and socket bell flanges, 2 XLR mufflers and full tailpipes that turn down (at my request) right at the bumper. All 2.5” pipe....$550! I forgot to take a picture before they lowered the car, but I’ll slide under it today and snap one. It’s beautiful, all custom bent, all welded, and sounds awesome! Message me if you’re interested in their contact info!

:welcome:TTI exhaust.One of the best in the business. This was installed on my 64 Belvedere. They do headers or pipes to fit up to you exhaust manifolds.

welcome to FBBO from NorCal Sierras
 
When you do your exhaust go with stainless band clamps on all the connections, no welding or U-bolt clamps that distort the pipe and make pulling them apart nearly impossible. It's nice to be able to pull your exhaust apart easily down the road if it is required. ;)

I have 2.5" dynomax super turbo mufflers and really love the sound, nice rumble at idle and no drone when driving, but they do make a nice racket when you get on the fun pedal.:D
 
Thanks all for the welcome. Here are some additional pics. I will post in the tech section but mainly looking for muffler suggestions. The car has 3" back from the headers to a Pypes X pipe set up with Thrush mufflers. The pipes stop right after the mufflers so I plan to go out to the rear and get more aggressive with the sound.

I've run these on many of my cars over the years.
 
Okay, you have 3"thrush mufflers and dumps before the axle. And now you want tailpipes and more aggresive sound? Of course you realize that tailpipes will tone down the sound you have now.
First, what thrush do you have now? Thrush makes all three muffler types. There are three, straight thru, with a sound absorbing packing, (which can blow out, making them louder over time) triple bypass like turbos and hemi mufflers, and chambered style, flowmasters spintech hooker aero etc. You need to listen to other cars to decide which sound you like, they are all different, and start shopping for that style. The easiest to tune for sound volume would be the flowmaster type. In a fixed size, more chambers-less noise, fewer chambers-louder. I personally like the flowmaster sound, many dont, and the louder ones do resonate annoyingly.
Next, its a generalization, but shorter/smaller equals louder. Turbos generally have a minimum size, but straight thru and "race" chambered style can be almost as loud as wide open pipes. If you go with a set of mufflers that ends up being too loud, you can also run resonators in the tailpipes to tone them down.
Just as a personal aside, i currently have a (somewhat) fast car, with two of the three muffler types. I love the sound of my flowmasters with full tailpipes (even tho they are huge, no resonance). I used hooker aeros on the fastest car, didnt care for the sound much initially, but i got used to it, and i really like it now. The third car has staight thru magnaflows that are amazingly quiet, but they are huge long mufflers, straight thru can be amazingly loud if thats what you want.
So, pick the sound you like, do some shopping for the sound volume you want.
