I think part of your problem is the stock manifolds......it's hard to make a stock sbc with manifolds sound good IMO. Longtube headers make a world of difference.

i do need some headers but i ran 40 series 2 chambers on a wore out 305 with stock manifolds, stock intake and a quadrajet, with smog and everything still hooked up and it sounded great. this is a new 350 so it should sound better than this even if it is all stock. I have never run an h-pipe before and i'm wondering if thats part of the problem? anyhow i contacted flowmaster and they said they would get back to me soon, so we'll see how that goes. but i already ordered a set of magnaflows yesterday. If that don't fix it then its getting stock mufflers and cats put back on it!
