Streets see, & I personally dont usually care for the way Harleys sound. Espesially a stock Harley motor with drag pipes, to me it sounds like an old tractor. a healthy harley with compression sound good with the right pipes, not usually drag pipes, but the 2 into1 style. differant strokes for differant folks.
best way I can describe Flowmaster is tincan. Monteman pointed out early that Streets never had flowmasters & shouldnt have a comment or something. Ive had 2 sets, its personal preferance, Ill never have another, its kinda like tring to tell a Bob Segar fan that Def Leppard is better.75 GMC C-15 factory 454, automatic, lowered

Mirror Before I put cherry bombs on my chevy, I had mufflers made buy a company called Stailness Specialties located in Florida that have a real nice sound. There telephone # is 712-589-7750. They probably have the true sound your looking for but they are expensive at around $150.00 each.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

I go at it from a different perspective. I look for whatever flows best for performance and if it sounds good ........ that's a nice byproduct."PLAN" your life like you will live to 120.

My buddy has a 67 Pickup w/ a 406 in it! He has a pair of Flowmaster Delta Flow 40s on there. There is no tinny sound to it like the originals..and when he jumps on it ..oh yeah there's an edge alright!
Best muffler on the market and I can't get enough of his truck. I'm putting the exact mufflers on my Impala (454) but 3"
Happy hunting!Big Body Big Block

I have experienced the perfect muffler comparison. I have a 46 Ford with a stock 302/Edelbrock manifold and carb. I used Flowtech mufflers on it and love the sound. I have just gotten my 53 F100 on the road with the same engine/induction and the same mufflers. They don't sound the same, not nearly as pleasant as the 46. The only difference is exhaust pipe configuration[ both vehicles have the same stock exhaust manifolds. Exasperating.Joe

Ok the sound will all depend... If you got a little V6 or something the Flowmasters will sound like a fart can, if you got a 454 like mine it will sound pretty good. I don't care for Flowmaster sound though but it is good for now. I know exactly what sound you are looking for and the closest I found was on that hot rod show with the black Nova.... damn I can't remember the name now... Horse Power TV or something with the two guys (one like ford the other likes chevy). Check on their site and they will probably have the Nova project on there and maybe got a clip of the sound and it will tell you the exhaust they used. If the sound you wan't is a good rumble at low idle like nice and loud rumble then you will like what's on this Nova. If anyone knows the show then tell the dude here so he can check it out... I think it's horsepowertv.com.
Hope this helped man. Let us know what you found.www.streamlineautocare.com

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
