z ya Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 Can anyone tell me what an x pipe sounds like at idle with a lumpy cam? I have a 286 comp magnum in a 350 and want the traditional "rumpty" sound at idle . Will that go away with this set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom Scala Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 Your engine will still have that choppy sound you want at idle with the x-pipe. With most mufflers the sound is slightly louder at idle and cruise with a x. It smooths out and quiets down a little when the engine is under load,especially from 1/2 to full throttle.

pparaska Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Even with a mild solid cam (270 solid lifter Comp cam) in my 327, with hooker block huggers, 2.5" duals, X-pipe, Dynomax Hemi Super Turbo mufflers, I could still hear the slight lope of the cam. Remember, alot of the lopiness comes from the exhaust pipes and header pipes "pinking" as it idles, not just out of the tail pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
