IMO, a chambered muffler on a stock engine sounds terrible, but once you get those exhaust pulses pumping with a little more overlap and duration, that's when they sound great. Found another one I really like. This one. Its a Corsa Extreme. I could probably get close with just the mufflers, but how on earth will I fit Y-body mufflers in a G-body? I know the way to do this is listen for a truck, vette, or camaro with a sound I like and ask the owner. The problem is, there pretty rare, and if I hear it that means they are driving away from me. I found one I liked when I went to Summit a couple weeks ago on a vette. I asked the owner what it was and he just said it was on it when he bought it. Grrr. Poser.

sawzall, welder, muffler strapping..

put a fuel cell in the trunk and fill the spare tire well in... then you've got all the room you'd ever need to put whatever mufflers you want under there..

El Camino... no dice. I could put a fuel cell in the bed, but not gonna. I could keep the mufflers in front of the axle and then have them dump in front of the wheels. That might be the ticket.

I was going to suggest side exhaust aka "boom tubes". Dr. Gas makes them.

I ran across this gem googling el camino side exhaust:

Did the G body Elcos have the "smuggler's box" in the bed like the older ones did?

If so, put the fuel tank/cell there..
