Loud and deep = H-pipe with flows dumped.

Raspy and scream = X-pipe

Blah...Flows suck.

Get some long tubes, o/r H, and dumped MACs.

An H-pipe will give you loud and deep. A X-pipe will be loud and raspy. I personally like the sound of an h-pipe better.

for a '68.. I'd put long tubes and 2 straight pipes. at the the end put an slp loud mouth muffler. I'd like to hear how that sounds!

I've had a bbk off road H and bbx off road X and like the X more. I think what you have the x or h going to in regards to muffler is what makes or breaks the sound your looking for.
