Just thinking mpg here. I was thinking of running a straight pipe on my 74 Dart 4 door.
Anyone done this? I was wondering how it sounded.

Rough I did once race a 74 Dart Sport stock slant street car and it performed best with a costom built stanless hollow muffler with it in the stock location and stock tailpipe. My first race car. I still have all the notes about mods on the engine to make it go faster. Thanks Ron Parker  Fast Is Just A Verb Compared To What |

If you value your hearing and wallet, you will abandon the idea. Even if the cops don't stop ya, you'll go either mad or deaf. Possibly both. I ran open headers once on my LTD and it rattled my ear drums. I imagine the drone of a six would drive you crazy after a mile or two. |

If it was bad I might do a resinator. I almost bought an 84 pickup that had no cats and duals and bo muffler. Guy said it was fairly quiet. It will be a commuter car32 miles one way. And 28 is interstate. |

My bet is that it will sound cool for the first week... maybe a week and a half. Then you'll Midacize it.

A straight pipe will not improve your mileage or performance relative to a well-thought-out quiet exhaust system (there is no call to buy a "performance" muffler) , and as others have said the noise will drive you crazy within days. |

I just did my 78 aspen Super6 . A new 2 1/4 converter (weld broke on old one) .a stock muffler , and a resonator setup for a 79 . You cant even hear it run , way more impressive than an under built motor rumbling . |
