I have a '74 Challenger with a mildly built 318 (upgraded cam, Edelbrock intake manifold, Edelbrock 650 4bbl carb). About fifteen years ago I had cheap headers added to the set up. Of course the lower, drivers side header got mashed on a railroad track or steep driveway almost immediately. The car continued to run fine so I left it. The exhaust pipes were cheap pipes bent and installed by a chain muffler shop. Likewise the mufflers themselves which were/are some variation of inexpensive "turbo mufflers". No attempt was made to replace the original style Mopar resonators or original style mufflers. Everything works fine but it never sounded quite (Mopar) right.
I still have the original exhaust manifolds. I'm trying to decide if I should return to the original style exhaust set up and use resonators and original style mufflers. I'm not sure how much power the headers added to my modest set up anway. Or, should I leave well enough alone? Thoughts? OPinions?
