Gentlemen.

First start yesterday. 347, AFR heads, comp thumpr cam. Likely your run-of-the-mill 400+- hp 347 that many run.

I know I'm getting a bit older but loud can be too loud. The thumpr probably doesn't help but I've crossed that bridge.

Have any of your tried to modify your 289 pipes with inserts? Mine are welded less than perfectly, a joke really as all joints offer a continuation of the pipe at a different angle. I have no fear of cutting the pipes and welding them back together better than they were originally manufactured AND I'm a terrible rookie welder.

I'm considering cutting them, putting in some inserts or a combination of inserts, and closing them up.

Any idea what is in the pipe now?
