80 Corvette 383 stroker Sweet Thunder Sidepipes

**See my video of the car in action here:**

Heres a quick video of the new mufflers in my sidepipes. The car is a 1980 Corvette with a 383 stroker. The specs on the motor can be seen in my other video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYdtRqGIjX8

The exhaust setup is made by XS Power, and sold by Custom Image Corvettes. The headers and pipes are beautiful 321 stainless steel. The pipes are 4".

I made this video to show the difference from my original video with the stock Glasspack inserts that came with the pipes. The glasspacks sounded okay, but were very quiet, and VERY restrictive. I believe the true diameter of the glasspacks was less than 2"! The new inserts are 2.25" Sweet Thunder mufflers. They are basically straight through with small baffling. The sound is amazing and very aggressive.

If you have any questions feel free to ask! Enjoy

What size tires and wheels?

[rmryder88]

@Red327SS American Racing Torq Thrust II 15x8" wheels. BFGoodrich Radial TA's for tires, 255/60R15 front, 275/60R15 rear.

@rmryder88 Did your rear tires rub.

[rmryder88]

@SupremeGforce Yes, the ebrake cable bracket thats on the outside of the frame was in the way. However, my ebrake cable has been broken since I bought the car, and being an auto Im not overly concerned about it. So, when installing the tires I just ground the brackets off and the tires fit fine. Since making this video I actually lowered the rear of the car about 2 inches and everything is still good.
