    Increasingly I like it quiet. Whenever something fails on the Towncar it gets stock-type exhaust that routes like factory. Hopefully the drone will die. I may also try some glasspacks in there as a resonator behind the muffler. There is currently a straight piece of pipe between the over-axle pipes and the tips. It would be easy enough to swap that out for a resonator.

      Don't like obnoxious shitty-sounding exhaust like all these riddlers put on v6 camaros and shit, but i do like a healthy, throaty car. Doesn't work when you have a sad, weak engine though. Gotta have the power and compression to really fill it out. The other car really never sounded "good" until the top end was done. It not only moved more air, but the heads bumped the compression a good bit and that really fills a system nicely. Never really got to enjoy it but trying to get toward better, faster, stronger....

        I like quiet myself. Although, the Flowmaster 40's & offroad H-pipe on Ashley's Mark VII sound fantastic. Bit drony between 60-75, but can't beat the sound though.

          Flowbastards sound good under throttle, but drone like fuck when cruising. When i was younger i didn't mind but drone irritates the hell out of me now. That, coupled with the fact that i drive a full-size american sedan, indicates that i may be getting older....

            Yep, that sounds like them. I do not like drone. Ashley doesn't seem to care. She doesn't like that it one wheel peels, that's her complaint about it.

            LoL I would have driven one of these at 17. I tried to buy one actually, just didn't have the money. Was an 88 or 89 LTD, blue on blue. That was a nice car.

              jUST removed flowcrap 40s off the under cover boss replaced with dynomax super turbos. Sound in the interior much quieter and reaches max boost much quicker.
              Creamy runs 2 1/2 quiet oem style mufflers cant remember the brand but about the same dimensions as the stock muffs they are coated inside and out against corrosion unlike most and last a long time.

                I agree with Gadget, Knucklehead, and Derek; liked it loud when I was young; not so much now. Though, if somebody else has a loud car and I'm not in it; then I like it.

                On the same note; when I first did the exhaust on the CV, my Mom was pissed that it was quiet; then I showed her the cutouts and she wasn't so mad. She also knows that the larger muffs are quieter muffs; so when she saw the Dynomax Hemi Super Turbos (part# 17749) on the porch, she was like, "oh............great, it'll be quiet."

                  I've never liked it loud... like drone worthy loud... but I like a good "let everyone know when I mat it" exhaust like I I have on the Cake. It doesn't drone, but it roars when you get it up in RPM. That said... I do like the quiet of the Expedition and my wife's 2000 vic when we're all on trips.

                    The moroso spiral flows are pretty good and i'll probably stick with them when i get everything on the new car. They sound fairly beefy but subdued. When i did the top-end on the other car they really woke up but still weren't obnoxious with 2 cats on the system. Kinda like an old big-block with turbo mufflers. Amazing really because these things are tiny, about the size of a 12" glasspack or so.

                      So I'm almost to the point of redoing the exhaust on my '90. With one of the Dynomax Impala tailpipes discontinued, there seemed to be no options for 2.5" tailpipes any longer.

                      I was able to find that Pypes offers a cat back system with no mufflers that includes an x-pipe and tailpipes for 1994-1996 Impalas. The x-pipe is stainless, the tails are aluminized. Beggars can't be choosers.

                      I got it off eBay from Jegs. It's a little pricy, but I'll try to recoup some of the cost be reselling the x-pipe separately.

                      I'll post pictures of the completed system once it's installed.

                          Giraffe; I know this is a bit late; wish I saw this much earlier. Heartthrob exhaust systems still offer catbacks for the 1994-1996 Impalas. Unfortunately you would have to purchase the whole catback. That's what I did when I did the 1st dual conversion on my CV. I still have 1/2 of the mid-pipes from that exhaust system. Their tailpipes had smooth bends.

                            I remember when I did the exhaust on my 2-door, I had a hard time sourcing one side impala SS 2.5” tailpipe, but I got it...that was like 5yrs ago...almost as long ago as my last post!

                              No big deal. The Pypes system cost about the same. I should be able to recoup some cost by reselling the x-pipe. I hope so, at least.

                                The tails fit nicely and all under the car?

                                The walker pipes I picked up years ago for the impy ss were kind just the over axles. Had to extend to bumper from there. If these fit well for you I may pick up a complete tail like you did in the future.
