Thought a few of you might like this. To me is sounds like headers with Glass packs

i personally dont think they would have taken the time to install headers, but from what i heard, they did either use glasspacks or remove the muffers depending on the engine

Actually on the TV it was a recorded sound from smoky and the bandit and not the real car , that being said i do have glass packs and headers on mine.

i hate to disagree, but there is no way some of those are not a 440. Unless the General Mayham Charger on Road kill is also using that same sound for their car.

That poor thing sounds like it's running on 6  out of 8

I've heard they used sounds from the movie Bullitt.

1st episodes were live audio. Can be easily picked up as the sound of the dixie horn is muffled and soft compared to the latter where they dubbed sound fx in. Lots of changes throughout the series but the correct answer is glasspacks and manifolds.
