Default Need help with exhaust.

Hi there, I have a Classic Roadsters C-427. The exhaust is too quiet and I'm assuming the pipes have baffling inside and they need to go!
Thoughts on how to remove without cutting the pipe?
Many thanks!

Build yourself a new set of pipes, because sooner or later you're going to want to quiet them down, and you can put these back on.

I was where you are just a few months ago. No way around not cutting the pipes. I did it and used a 4 in band to hold it back together after changing the insert and it sounded better but the chrome band didn't match up with the ceramic pipes. I ended up going with Classic Chambered Exhaust and they sound great. Still had to cut the pipe off just past where 4 go into one and connect them there. They look good and sound much better.

Cr pipes are very restrictive. Classic Chambered is what I used as well and it really improved performance and sound. I replaced the intake manifold at the same time and have before and after dyno results and picked up 70 -80hp and tq. I was very happy with the change. Mufflers $150, fab work $250, new ceramic coating $400, smile on my face when the sound tickled my insides- Priceless. I wear ear plugs when I drive now.

Classic Chambered Mufflers will make you happy with a rumbling sound effect.

Good idling sound and even better under power.
