If everything is new or 'good', why would you ever use them? Am I not getting something?

If the exhaust noise from the engine is not a problem, maybe just have the shop flatten or move the tailpipes? That would be less money than replacing them with junk.

It would be cool (pun intended) if that were hammered out, a formula, but think every OE has done many times over.

Yeah, there's the problem, the magnaflows. Those are not 'quiet' mufflers.

Like I mentioned, you can't make loud mufflers quiet by dropping back to 2.5 tailpipes.

If you call Pypes, you can...

I've run those Flex-a-lite 295 fan setups on 68-72 A-bodies, they work, and were my go-to. They have a rating of 4600cfm, but don't believe all fan companies use the same formula to calc CFM.

Yup, need more specific info, SCR, head info, cam degreed or not, timing chain setup, etc.
