noisy sedan

Post by isettajoe »

Doug -- See if Mike O'connor has a good original sedan muffler.  The muffler helps cut the noise but the silencer pipe that connects to it makes a big difference.  If that's shot then the car will be noisy even with a new muffler.  I found this out on my '71 coupe.  I put a factory new muffler and it made no difference in the high noise level.  Then I put a good used silencer pipe and it really made a difference.  The factory coupe tail pipe has a little silencer built on the end and that helps a lot.  I have one on my restored '72 coupe and it's a pretty quiet car, although at freeway speeds they all roar.
