Yessir, one of the first major mods I did after I got it home was an exhaust swap. Everyone around here thinks I lost my mind doing that. It had a super nice, high $ mandrel bent 3 inch exhaust with race flowmasters coming off hooker super comp long tube headers. Sounded great until you got on the highway, then it droned so loud you had to yell to carry on a conversation with passengers. I went back to factory high performance cast dual exhaust manifolds and a Gardner reproduction full exhaust. These cars had a fairly elaborate system from the factory with chambered tailpipes. Has a unique sound that I wanted back. Probably knocked it back over 50 horses, but now it’s pleasant going down the road. Also took off a high rise air gap intake manifold and barry grant stage 3 holley carb for a performer intake and quadrajet. Probably another 50 horse cut there, but got an electric choke back, and nearly doubled highway mileage. I’m all about just cruising now. Still probably around 400 horse. 30 over 455 with aluminum heads and roller cam.
