Best exhaust setup for Shag - suggestions?

That's a neat idea. After your engine builder ports them, you could have them ceramic coated, too.

Why would a shorty build any more heat than a cast iron manifold? It all depends on the coating. A ceramic coated shorty will dissipate heat much faster than an uncoated stock manifold.

Don't go with the Sandersons. They are not very well made. That's what Robert (66benchcoupe on the VMF) used for a while and hated them. They developed a million pin holes after just a couple years.

As soon as you said the long tubed Cleveland sounded "tinny", I immediately knew it had FLowmasters. That's the mufflers, not the headers. Also, I'll bet the one with stock logs had no H pipe, giving it a beefier sound.

No one has ever described the Dynomax Ultra Welds on Scary as Tinny. I did have someone compare to the sound of a NASCAR sound, but never tinny. Also converstations are easy to have unless I'm heavy into the throttle.
