old thread but I'll update my post from 08.

Lainhart stops the shows when he drives up. Sounds just like a Cobra should.
That 487 thumps. The ground shakes. I love it. Everybody loves it.

Mine, quiet at cruise speed but mak'in more ponies.
My 354 is putting 402 to the rear wheel. I belive the Classic pipe help to make that kind of horsepower.

I install a pair of Classic's on Hodge's Cobra last fall. He has a KC 408 stroker, 525 hp.

Quiet at low rpms but when you push the go pedal, your gone and they hear you. Quiet enough at cruise speed that you can easily talk. Best of everything.

I think when you go with a longer side pipe, it's quieter. When you go with the larger inside diameter you gain hp and it is louder.
I recommend the longest pipe you can put on it with the 3" I.D.
