Re: IML: Exhaust preferences

[commenace@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I put a flow master on my '65 Le Baron.  Honestly, I think it was one of the dumbest things I ever did to my otherwise great car.  Of course, exhaust tone is strictly subjective, but in opinionated view, it was way too much for a luxury car.  I drove it home feeling like I was driving a big 'ol truck.  Since then, I've been biding my time, waiting for the chance to bring it back earth.  Now that the engine and trans are rebuilt and in, I'll soon put in duals (65's were single) and make it as quiet as possible, even if it means two mufflers and two resonators.
