Customer Testimonials: "Holy Smokes, side pipe baffles woke up the 533 incher.... Big time. I was running hooker reverse flow muffler inserts, not bad, but very quit. Today got a hold of some baffles, just a little bit louder that the Hooker inserts, but let me tell you, what a sounds. The sound is out of this world. That's not all, I could idle at 700, but the car would jump all over the place, so I set the idle at 900. These baffles produce no back pressure, adjusted the idle back to 700, and 533 idles just as smooth as my Catera. Wait there's more. I had a hard time reaching the 5K rev line. The rev's would climb to 4500, no problem, but after that, it would labor to 5000 and die. Drove me nuts. Adjusted the timing, valve lash, everything, Jim comes along with the baffles, "Here son, try these, and kiss your troubles away". Okee dokee, let's give them a shot. Put them on and nailed it, almost lost it, as the revs climbed past 6500 and the car was going sideways, and I hit second, and up to 6500. |
"I bought a pair for my ZZ/502 1979 'vette. They work GREAT, and sound GREAT. Also, there was a large hp gain over the Hooker glasspack inserts. The guy's forum name is JCL." MassVette ________ "Just got my new baffles for my Hooker side pipes and installed them this afternoon. Very nice design and quality piece of equipment! The mufflers are by no means quiet behind my factory spec L88; but, the car is much easier to drive, idles better, throttle is much more responsive making my double clutches a breeze. The car really and truly sounds the way it was meant to be. Higher rpm's sound is very authoritative, but smooth." Chuck Harmon ________ "Last year I ran a best of 13.50 at 103.50 mph..... but with only the addition of the STS Baffles, the mph went from 103.50 to 105.50 consistently. I am definitely making more HP. The motor is running as it was supposed to. Thanks for coming across with a quality product that was needed. UPDATE: A new best of 13.04 at 107.15mph I can smell a 12.99 but it was not to happen. Your baffle inserts have unleashed so much power, I busted a U-joint! My best mph is now 107.15 from a best of 103.5 with the Hooker mufflers. No other changes to the motor, just the baffle inserts." Charles Kwas ________ "Got my sidemount headers in and got the sidetubes and mufflers from JCL on today. All I can say is wow. What a great sound and I do belive the 502 likes the mufflers. I had driven it a few time open headers before I bought the sidemounts and I really don't feel much difference with theses mufflers. Did I mention that the sound is incredible. Not to loud but deep and rumbly then when you get on it watch out. I also bought the tubes from JCL with the longer tips and they look awesome. I highly recommend this setup to all you with sidepipes. Thanks to JCL and GDaina and Chuck Harmon and MAssVette for the recommendations. I will post some pictures when I can." 69TTOP502 ________ more testimonials |
