Club Cobra - Exhaust Experience

Hello all! I have discussed this matter on a different forum, but since i see that there is a lot of exhaust discussion here as well, i thought i would post my db and dyno results here also. I have a ffr, which comes iwth 2.5" ID diameter pipes, so my experience and results will vary from other kits that have more restrictive or different exhaust systems. However, my results should help some of you to chose what will sound best and create the most positive results according to your goals. I am running a 306 with a mass-flo fuel injection system from www.massfloefi.com with afr 165cc heads, and 9:1 compression.
4 into 4 header vs. shorty headers and J pipes
Only a small loss in hp over the 4 into 4s-j-pipes and shorties helped reduce noise.

cc inserts installed in j-pipes with packing(absolutely killed power) However, i never tested them without the packing material, but i could still feel a significant seat of the pants difference.

Classic chambered Cobrapacks were the same as FFR pipes except were more mellow at idle by 2 dbs. However, at other tested rpms they were the same as the ffr mufflers regardless of their 6 inch extra length. With that said, they did sound more mellow at cruising speed, but sounded the same going up hill and while at full throttle.

2.5" internal diameter Classic Chambered mufflers(26" long)
NO difference over ffr exhaust.

And my final exhaust data is inconclusive till tomorrow, but i do have videos of a much improved sound. The inserts were made and installed by www.sweet-thunder.com and they truly replicate that of the mid-year vettes while quieting down the db level.

I also tested the gas-n stainless pipes. They were just as loud if not louder than the stock FFR pipes, but were much prettier. The baffles were faced in the opposite direction so they did produce a flappy sound while coasting or downshifting. The same flappy sound was evident with all of the mufflers that had the louvers facing the direction in which the catch air, yet the db levels were only minimally reduced if any.
