Squarebody Chevy Dual Exhaust Installation and Test Drive - Flowmaster American Thunder

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Here's a very fun video featuring the first upgrade to my "hand me down" Chevrolet Squarebody Pickup Truck ... the Flowmaster American Thunder full dual exhaust system. Kit 17742
I'll run through the complete install, including the only tricky part... adapting from the H pipe to the stock down pipes on the small block 350 in this truck.
Couple things to consider when ordering a kit for your Square body Chevy... even though this is a 1976 C20, not the more common C10, it doesn't have catalytic converters so the kit was an easy fit but the Amazon shopping filter said it wouldn't fit this vehicle. So do a bit of detective work to make sure you order the right option for your rig!
Here's a link to the AutoEdits Amazon store www.amazon.com/shop/autoedits
In the shopping list for Square body Truck is this kit. Any shopping you do after starting on this page helps sponsor this channel... so grab a set of my favorite Grease Monkey Bones gloves or some Lucas fuel treatment while you're there.... THANK YOU!
Here's a link to the Flowmaster (Holley) web page, it's where I'll be shopping for a ton of more stuff for future upgrades to this truck...
What should be next???
Thanks so much for watching!!!

    You went from a straight through muffler to a chambered muffler, that’s why it’s a little quieter. Also, I would have went with something like Magnaflow instead of chokemasters/dronemasters.

  • @AutoEdits

    Жыл бұрын

    It's only quieter in the cab and it's way louder out the tailpipe than the glasspacks, which is perfect for what I wanted. Magnaflow doesn't sell a kit for this vehicle (why not???) and Flowmaster has the most kits available and the absolute best fitting bends on the market by far. Love the Magnaflow on my Jeep but the tail section from the resonator back is not as precise as my older Flowmaster American Thunder kit was.
