Edelbrock claims the muffler I just installed is "reversible".  Does that
mean that it gives a different tone if I turn it around, or just that it can
be installed in either direction?

Thanks,

As to liberty, the heroes who signed the great document pledged themselves
to buy liberty with their lives. Liberty is never unalienable; it must be
redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes. Of all
the so-called natural human rights that have ever been invented, liberty is
least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost.

Two-in-one silencer/loudener?

It means that you can install it either way and it won't make any
difference.  I know the kind of muffler you are referring to.  All it
is is a big ceramic insert instide the middle of the muffler.

Thanks, Tony.  I was hoping I'd get a different sound out of it if I flipped
it around.  At 70MPH it drones pretty loudly in the cab.

If you didn't route the ends of the pipes to out from under the box
that will make it louder.  If the muffler is under the cab and only a
short turn down after that will make it unbearable.
Hope this helps.
