Re: IML: 65 Exhaust noise



I did similar with my '65, except I purchased low-restriction "turbo" mufflers. They were a bit loud, and caused a "drone" inside the car that was annoying. The solution was a pair of long glasspacks as resonators. They toned down the noise level and eliminated the drone. My car is a bit louder than stock, but it sounds great. I would suggest the glasspacks, and an "H" crossover pipe if they haven't already installed one.

Hi all. The restoration on my 65 is virtually complete. We’ve got a few punch list items to go but I have been driving her now for a couple of weeks. After 2 and a half years, I am finally a real Imperialist. I’ve already had one offer to sell her, to which I gave a resounding no. I do have a question for the more experienced. I converted her to dual exhaust and got the quietest muffler available. However, I get a lot of roar inside the car. The muffler shop is suggesting resonators on each tailpipe. Has anyone else dealt with this and what was your solution? An Imperial is supposed to be whisper quiet and mine isn’t. Any other tips?

Thanks
