When we originally had the engine built for our ’68 Chevelle project, we were given the opportunity to test it out on a dynamometer where it put up some power numbers that were actually more than we expected. During the experience, we were very impressed with the non-restricted sound of the motor and decided that when it came time to actually drive the car, we wanted to do everything we could to replicate the sound we heard that day. The best way to do this was to seek out a performance exhaust system that would not only provide us with that deep growl we were after, but also one that would even improve both horsepower and torque.
At or near the top of our wish list was a MagnaFlow exhaust system, given that they are currently one of the top aftermarket exhaust manufacturers in North America and most definitely live up to the company slogan, which is; ‘Quality. Power. Sound.’ Once we reached out, we were thrilled to learn that MagnaFlow were willing to donate exactly what we were looking for – a stainless steel, 3-in., crossmember-back dual exhaust system made specifically for our Chevelle that would provide the smooth and deep tone we wanted.
From there it was over to our friends at M-Tech Automotive in Port Coquitlam, B.C., who have specialized in building and installing exhaust systems for more than 20 years, for the installation. In just a few short hours, and with only a few minor adjustments necessary, our system was mounted on the car and ready to go.
