Default Turbo mufflers on a 289 ?

Hey Guys ! What turbo type mufflers do you recommend I try on my '65 Falcon Sprint w/289 ? The engine has a HiPo cam , and a 4100 Autolite 4V carb . Other than that , it is the original stock 200 hp. C code engine . It will have duals w/tailpipes out the rear . So , what do you like ? Thanks in advance ! F F

I like magnaflow I have them on my 65 mustang 289 and my 57 ranchero 351W they have a deep mellow sound and don't resonate inside the car.

A 60's car should have that 60's sound I have these on my 302 and love the sound https://www.autozone.com/exhaust/per...ler/696472_0_0 Or Crank up your speakers and listen to these turbos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diRBfE0wbjU

I've used the dyno max turbo's, nice rumble at idle, quiet cruising and quite a bark at high rpm. The car did have an H pipe.

^^ Yes, I forgot to say my car has an H pipe also . ^^ I think glasspacks would be to much of a 50's sound for this car . Looking for that 60's muscle car sound , thats why I am thinking turbo style mufflers . All good suggestions guys , keep 'em coming ! - F F
