OK, my official consensus is that "I suck". My idea of using the C5 muffs was a good idea but require too much modification for my skill set.
And NO muff shop will touch them... Even after I told them I would sign a hold harmless agreement.... Whatever.... So now i'm looking at a set of Flowmaster 40's. 2 1/2" in/out. Any thoughts on them?? P/N FLO-42543 FlowMaster Muff |

The flowmaster 40 sounds good outside of car but may get on your nerves due to the noise in cabin.
No mater which muffler you get, I recommend a offset inlet and outlet for ease of mounting and adjustment. John |

Hey Roger, I just read through your whole thread here, I will attach a picture of my muffler setup for you to look at, it is using a single dual inlet, dual outlet Walker muffler for a Camaro/Trans Am. The sound is nice, quiet on the inside and not really loud outside. Most people like the way it sounds. I know I do. Here are the pictures.

Scott,
That is exactly the muffler I am considering.....I have seen them before, but didn't know the specific application. What year(s) Camaro/Trans-Am is it form? Looks very nice. Andy |

I think they are from 82 to 92 but I could be mistaken. I had a 93 Trans Am and it was similar so they could have been the same. I know the 80's cars used this muffler.

John,
Wow, it's amazing how things change in one day... First i'm thinking these C5 muffs can be shortened and installed. Then i'm thinking no one wil help install them. Tehn I think Flowmaster 40's. Then I go by a friend of a friends muff shop this morning as a last ditch effort and he say's no problemo' on the Vette muffs. This mornings turned out to be a great morning! Yesterday a new Edelbrock 750 double pumper went on and got a nice tune. (Not under load yet) but it idles real SICK (good). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I love the easy access to primary air screws and the secondaries even have an easy adjustment also. I feel like i got my cake and eat it too. Today i get to actually weld the shift rod, attach the axles, and add a ground strap from the tranny to the body (little starting issue and i'm guessint this will fix it.). Cheers to everyone! Only a week and a half of vacation left... Anyone need a hand on their teeners while i'm off??? Attached thumbnail(s)

Roger, dont worry about everyone elses teeners, get yours done, you are so close to driving it. Just make sure you double check everything before you romp on it. If your trans is stock, dont romp too hard, they are not as strong as we are led to believe. Ask me how I know. Watch your CV bolts also, check them after driving it 100 miles or so and continue to do so every so often. The trans and the CV's are your weakest links.
Oh, and despite what anyone says, these cars flex under power, I have cracks all over the car to prove it. Places you would not expect like the top of the sail panels. The power really twists these cars. I even installed the chassis stiffening kit in the rear and the boxed trailing arms. I am going to install the Engman inner long kit and hope that will make a difference. |

BTDT, I had a choke cable that was grounding the drivetrain until I re-connected the strap! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) Good progress, drive it to my place and finish mine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
