OOOPS ! I just noticed that it is the " Sebring STYLE" setup. - not the real stuff.
They are about as good/bad, depending on how you look at it, as a "monza" exhaust, which in my eyes arent worth the metal they were made of.:toilet:
Its cheap, yes. but you will be better off buying a good quality stock muffler. ´Way less sound and just as good or better for the engine.

For stock type, I really like the Leistritz and Ernst mufflers, as they have 1. much better fit, 2. better performance and fuel economy, and 3 less/better sound than almost all of the other aftermarket mufflers I have seen, including my own country´s JP muffler, which is even supposed to be factory supplier.
They are on the other hand also about twice as expensive. but quality costs you know.

If you want a sport type header and exh. on your 1600 stocker engine, the best you can do is to stay with the prooven US brands of a Sgl. Quiet, like Bugpack, S&S (I prefer those when I can get them, because of a little better material and ground clearance) or T-bird. The collector is also better on those.
Or simply buy the header and make your own muffler out of something from another car. The rear muffler from a Citroen BX 16 f.i. It has in & out in the same end, which allows you to install it on the side of the engine without too much tubing. (Perhaps along with an end tip silencer)
That is good for about 75 max 80 hp. And the sound and the level is good, + the engine repsonds well to it.
