And how did you quiet them down, so Johnny Law does not introduce himself!

My brother, Weezer, had zoomies on his blown 351 powered bucket, and quieted them with large washers spot-welded in the throats of each pipe. I seem to remember that he had them tilted at about a 30 degree angle inside the pipes, and it was not as loud as you might think. :)

I wonder about exhaust fumes in the face going down the road.

I remember going on a long cruise with Bull Dog (he was running zoomies w/baffles) and he could hardly talk the next day because of the fumes.
Not saying they are all like that.

good point about the fumes, now that is something i didnt think about, very true and i will b driving mine a lot, not trailering, i think i may have to just stick to the sprint style and maybe leave the muffler insert out if i want a little louder, im glad i asked, thanks again,

so mr dewey, what u r saying is if i get the classics, it will be inbetween the zoomies and the sprints? i would like some loudness but not where i cant stand it when im driving for long periods of time on highway. i would guess the 20" turnouts would b little louder than the 26"? any of these noise factors have any affect on power or performance. i i dont plan on putting the little mufflers in the turn outs so im guessing i'll have my loudness LOL
