Re: 87 Cutty Glasspack 3.8?

Not really a fan of glass-paks, they don't sound to my ears all that great and might attract too much attention. I put a Flowmaster super 50 in mine, in the stock single-out configuration. Good loping rumble but no "look at me" noise.

Are you running a 231, 305 ,307 , 350? i hear glasspacks are really loud

Just a 305. The Catalytic Converter smooths it out. The muffler shop accidentally put a Flowmaster 40 on initially and I got to hear it. Had quite the "mean" sound.

Re: 87 Cutty What kind of Rearend do I have?

Nice car..especially since it is a hardtop. Back in the late 80's I had an 82 like that with the 3.8 and I put a cutlass diesel muffler on it to get duals out the sides. It was a cheap option and it sounded good. IMO, I the Olds rallye rims or SSIII 15" rallye rims would look much better than the IROC rims. Keep it all Olds....Why bastardize on Olds with Chevy rims.

It varies depending on source. Looks like 105hp/185tq is the ballpark.


Anubis- Go back one page and you'll see the wheels he's working on. The Irocs came with the car.

Re: Got the New rally Rims on My cutty
