I admire not only your skill as a mechanic, but your patience and determination. No other channel really compares to yours in that regard. You sir are number one. Seriously.
The Independence is how I found VGG. Was scrolling through TH-cam for something to watch and I saw the thumbnail with Derek and Independence and immediately I clicked on and been watching since. I began watching from 1st ever VGG to catch up and been watching since. I really miss seeing her on the channel. Like today even seeing a small piece of her made me happy. Can't wait until she comes back. Love that car. She means a lot to me.
I figured out why VGG is so watchable! VGG is the fantasy land we all want to live in. Derek never gets mad, never rips the skin off his knuckles, has the tools he needs and things work when he's done. Also, he's always actually working instead of just sitting around watching TH-cam.
That is a fantasy. There's not a mechanic alive that doesn't rip the skin off there knuckles and get mad once in a while especially when things don't work out and you have to tear it apart again.
I recently went thru neck surgery and while at home healing I found your channel. Its like hanging out with an old friend, working on cars, talking shop. I grew up in a Michigan drag racing family and have been in the garage helping my dad since I can remember. Your work reminds me so much of our own approach to fixing things... careful diagnostic and planning to avoid unnecessary work and expense. I continue to do my own work on cars, motorcycles, campers... you name it. And I especially appreciate your light heart and no swearing. God bless you and keep it coming, Derek! If you're ever in Vermont/New Hampshire (I have moved a lot) and need help, I got tools and a pickup truck. Be safe out there.
I had to tell you thank you for this video, my husband is injured right now, and unable to celebrate veterans Day, so watching him, watch you, I just wanted you to know you did put a smile on this vets face. He loves watching you, because he dreams on restoring a car some day. Thanks again.
Thank you for providing countless hours of entertainment. After a long week of work, its so nice to sit back on Friday evenings to relax and watch your fun videos. Keep up the awesome work and warmest regards from Melbourne, Australia.
Derek and Dulcich are, by FAR my two favorite hosts! The episode of Roadworthy Rescue with the two of them was GREAT! If I drank, I'd love to knock back a couple beers with them!
I might be a little partial because they are made in my back door I'm not far way from their plant plus I love the sound. I had a set on my older Duramax and they sounded good even though it wasn't made for a diesel. They sounded awesome on it. I was also a big Flowmaster fan as well.
Yes you choose the right mufflers. Magma flow is always the right choice. They sound awesome let the engine breath while adding a nice deep note. The last forever.
I absolutely love the Flowmaster Super 10s! This takes me back to the days when Flowmaster used to put sound files of all their mufflers online. Not sure if they still do that, but love this video!
Honestly if your life sux too hard & you're going to start up the Duster in a closed garage sucking on a bottle of rot gut, then you'd wanna go dirt napping to a heavenly growl.
@@jeffrowlette Chinese specials, available on Amazon as well. Eastwood has carefully crafted an image of 'best' when its really just the same chinesium as everybody else. It's good chinesium, but still.
Finally bit the bullet and ordered me a Derekisms shirt and a VGG Flag Keychain. Love everything you do Derek and family, keep on keeping the classics alive. Every car or truck has a story, that story deserves to be shared, and that vehicle deserves another chance at life.
Nice to see a working space with bearings, some kind of throttle for a moped?, brake cleaner, a claw hammer, test leads and odd things laying around. Looks like home!
I put a pair of the Magnaflows on my 64 chevy 2 pro street, they sounded awesome as heck at idle, really a deep nice tone, then at speed they were way more quiet than I prefer. . So I took them off and put my 2 chamber flowmasters (Flowmaster 40's) back on awesome those were.....on my pro street anyway.
Nothing like vice grip garage to soothe the soul and cool down a hot temper at the end of a long hard week. Thankyou and God bless you Derrick. I can only speak for myself here but I think your videos do a lot of good for the mental state and stability of many many of your fans. Never stop doing what you do brother
I put a stock 360 out of a Plymouth wagon, in a 1974 Plymouth Duster back in 1987 ,and it kick butt back when you was a young man in school. Later we put a 440 in one had to use fender Well headers, Wish I could help on this build. Check on those ball joints and bushings. they wear out and you will be all over the road,
When you finally decided on the muffler and those turn downs were on, you should have seen the smile on my face when you fired it up and it went to idle. No matter what brand of auto you may prefer, when something is just cammed out the a$$, it is magical.
@@ViceGripGarage Question I keep seeing videos with people using diesl oil in there videos. Can somone tell me why besides the cost as well as does anyone recommend using it in newer cars/trucks
I am always amazed how much this man knows about cars, engines, the undercarriage, every piece of every vehicle. The history behind everything and can explain every issue and every fix that’s possible for every problem in detail. When your done watching you feel like you just learned something instead of just watching someone fix something. I’ve watched every episode multiple times. I watch at least one episode every single day
I have 8 projects vehicles in my yard because of watching Derek and I’m not mad about it, I got to catch myself sometimes I start sounding like him working on them lol
I feel like even if the cameras weren't rolling, Derek would still be having the same conversations with himself underneath the hood... fussing, griping, figuring, making song, etc... 🤣
I do that on all my projects. Usually not out loud but talk it out in my head till I come up with the answer I'm looking for. Sometimes it's even right.
I like the MagnaFlow the best. It's what I'm running on my 69 Camaro SS396. They're not too loud, not too quiet, they're just right. I guess that's the Goldilocks of mufflers.
"A cross thread is nature's loctite" almost made me spit out my apple pie...LOL That's a mighty fine lookin Mop-rolet engine ya got there and she sounds like she's gonna be a real jewel for whoever gets her next. Bring the thunder!!
So happy you picked the Magna-flows. When I heard them the first time, I was like, hell yeah, that was the deep throaty sound I would love to have on my car.
Love it! Love it! Love it!! I’m 63 yrs old, so thanks for putting the magna flows on for me👍🏼I don’t want to piss off my bingo partners! Come on girl!! Bring it home to daddy!!!
"... and with their powers combined, they are not Captain Planet, they are Mopar start." This was the best line I think I have ever heard in any of your youtubes good sir. Truly you are a man of class and character.
I came to the channel because of the 63 lesabre videos. I own one that's glacier blue. I'm so grateful to watch all your content but glad there's a variety of odd ball stuff that most people overlook because they're 4 doors ect.
We've got true dual super 10s on our ram truck, and it sounds so good. I agree, Magnaflow didn't sound bad either. Having an old muscle car like this will definitely make someone very happy. Great job, Derek! 👍
Always been a fan of Magnaflow. It’s controlled and throaty without being raspy. Deep as you said. They just sound tough and mature. They’re the Chad of V8 mufflers.
Xlerator was also nice in a 4 cyl 2.3 turbo engine 3" dp and 2.5" Flowmaster cat (200cell) and end muffler is 2.5" with xlerator. Nice exhaust note i must say. That magnaflow would sound nice also i bet.
I have Magnaflow on my Grand Cherokee with the 5.7. It is just like you said, tough and mature, not obnoxious or annoying on a long highway ride. It also gives a good bark when you jump on it.
I have magnaflow on my 3.6 Malibu sounds amazing and they are 12 years old. Also had them on my 06 charger. I absolutely love the low tones they produce. I don't like a obnoxious tones... Always be my favorite and they are known to add hp over others. They flow very nice.
Good choice on the mufflers. Really digging this build. The black steel wheels and raised white letter tires, that, to me, is the correct look for that car.
Always a good time to sit down and watch the VGG channel. Great work Derek and Volunteer muffler. I also noticed a beautiful two-wheeled scooter under your shop shirt! Big fan of the Indian Chieftain!
Derek, that Duster sounds awesome. A guy is doing a great job putting this thing together and I'm looking forward to seeing this car finished. If I won it I wouldn't do a thing to it.
U the man derrick master at work don't stop the magic biggest motivation i have had in a long time keeping the old cars alive i just have to many rust buckets in my collection but imma work on them one at a time lol keep it coming love the content derrick
Love the build and thanks for doing this giveaway. Since your giving this away, you might want to have an option to extend the exhaust out of the body because in some states like Pennsylvania it has to exit the body even a truck bed to be legal. Yes, PA sucks the fun even out of exhausts…
I knew a guy with a 340 Duster, back in the 70s. Watched him pick the front wheels off the ground. It sounded pretty good too. We always had a 4 speed.
I was taking a look at your intro again, and I have to say I never told you how I like the new modern way that you found to plow fields! You kill to birds with one stone! You even replace the snow plow!
Derek, i just took my wife to a shania twain concert and it was phenomenal. She is 58, but doesnt look or sound 58. The 90s baby in me came out and i loved it. So definitely go to a 90s country concert if you can!
Just saw you met up with fabrats and merlin. So cool. Those guys are from my neck of the woods. Paul lives 20 minutes from me. Made me smile ear to ear
This was an epic episode, really love all the in depth of the knick knacks. You always see bolting the engine in, and next thing you know its running. The power steering just magically happens. That said, those lines are bastids... even the correct line for the exact application often fights ya 😅
Like a brand new line from O'Reilly with the wrong thread pitch I tried to put on.....dang metric crap looking similar and whatnot. After trying to thread it into a pump for 30 minutes I finally held it next to the other one and had a little breakdown, and then got a ride to get the correct hose.....
Your channel has always been great but it’s better than ever now as you add more cars and trucks, more builds, exhaust tests and Motorsport content. You now have the best channel on TH-cam in my opinion. Just keep doing more of the same great stuff and trust in your intuition as it’s always been spot on.
@@ViceGripGarage you’re welcome Derek. You’ve inspired millions to return to the garage build their dreams on wheels and bring us back to the America we all know and love. No amount of praise or money can equal that. It’s pure gold
Glad I found this channel. Love working on old cars. But now... I'm learning the terminology and what everything is actually called. Just finished the yellow corvette video. New subscriber. Love the detail. I'm 53 and already learned a few things from ya. Thanks! "Cross thread is natures free lock tight"
Magnaflow one of the better brands in terms of quality- excellent welds, a lot of pride in their internal baffling/packing etc. as a wholesaler usually the only time we saw returns on then was if it had a dent in transport! stainless is also so important when you consider the issues of condensation/heat/rust- a big cause of blowouts in mild steel mufflers!
I have a magnaflow catback exhaust that was installed on my 2003 vehicle in 2007 and it has seen at least 10 salt belt winters, still looks/sounds fantastic.
Magna flow, I've always been a fan and have had them on several vehicles from a 86 cutlass with a 350 rocket to a 2012 avalanche, i love the deep mellow sound they provide, they are a excellent source for a multitude of applications
Cool thing about mopar parts is they make different bends in the parts that make you think it's the wrong part. Usually fits opposite way the original looked.
I was 50/50 on the magnaflow or the flowmaster FX, both had the nice deep tone from what I could hear with a bit of throat on the throttle up. I think you picked the best ones IMO
I love what you're doing with this car. My mom bought a 73 Duster brand new. I remember I was about around 4 years old and riding out of the dealership in the backseat. This started my love of Mopars!! Been watching your Videos for years. Please keep em coming.
G'day Derek :) I am so jealous of your subscribers in the US of A. I would KILL to get my hands on that car. I had a 1970 Valiant VG Coupe with a 360 and 727 auto. It looked as rough as a piece of 36 grit sanding disc. Faded gold metalic paint with primer patches where I had cut out the rust and welded in new metal patches. It had a 600 holley, Pacemaker headers with 3" collectors. It had some strange home made mufflers and exited at the rear of the car. This car went way better than it looked. Im in Brisbane, Australia so no chance of winning your car. Keep up the great work. I throughly enjoy your videos. Trust me when I say I feel your pain at times. Been there, done that. Im 64 years old and am a self taught mechanic. I have been playing with cars since I was 12. Did my very first car restoration when I was 17. It was a 1963 EJ Holden Station Wagon. Would love to meet you some day. Need to win the lotto to make that happen lol/ Keep up the good work mate. Cheers Pete
Great build! The little Duster was the economy two door sedan for that make. It did have a performance package and styling available. But what you saw on the road mostly was the economy package. So not much of a muscle car . Great work so far on the engine build and choice of muffler's. Clean up the interior and clean up the exterior/paint. The current tires are a very good brand and quality / size combination. Cheers and keep on bringing us such great content!!!!! Take more time out for yourself,,,REST,,, Family time there . Great show.
Yes, I would love to see that! I bought a pair of Porter mufflers for my '40 Ford pickup project but it will be a while before I'm to the point of installing them. Love watching your channel!
Should I do a video just on mufflers? We could get a dozen more brands?
Mozzle
Well if a guy dropped his lapel mic behind the car I’d have a better guess but all I can hear is tick tick tick(my vote is yes)😂
that be cool👍
Do they still sell the old school Cherry Bomb brand?
Well I reckon so
I admire not only your skill as a mechanic, but your patience and determination. No other channel really compares to yours in that regard. You sir are number one. Seriously.
And he’s a guitar man 👍
Times eleventy gazillion
He gives me the courage to snip out my electrical problems with confidence!
A lot of time and effort on this rig! She’s going to make someone very happy! Thank You Derek, you’ve outdone yourself, again!
You bet!

he has cool cars too... just a bit obsessive about chev smallblocks
That is a fantasy. There's not a mechanic alive that doesn't rip the skin off there knuckles and get mad once in a while especially when things don't work out and you have to tear it apart again.
I also appreciate that he works clean. I hate watching videos while my family is around and the presenter is dropping f bombs everywhere.
Rumor has it the independence is getting a telsa motor😂
Did you somehow miss him completely tearing up his hand trying to get an engine to spin a few months ago?
This has by FAR been the most motivating channel for me to get out there and find a project. Thanks Derek and gang!!
you're very welcome, thanks for watching
I find em all the time, we're just too broke to get one 😂 one day one day!
It causes me to consider adding one more project beyond way too many...perfect.
Yes indeed!VGG made me find a 78 Chevy Silverado big 10. Thank you VGG 😊. So much fun working on it.
the best channel!!!

Cragar SS or Keystone classics would set that off great and keep it period correct
What can I say but VGG DELIVERS THE GOODS once again! Thankyou sir for the finest content on all of YouChoob.
I had to tell you thank you for this video, my husband is injured right now, and unable to celebrate veterans Day, so watching him, watch you, I just wanted you to know you did put a smile on this vets face. He loves watching you, because he dreams on restoring a car some day. Thanks again.
Sounds like your husband is a veteran, if so, I thank him for his service. Hopefully, he will get to restore a car one day soon 👍🇺🇸
One of the best parts of your channel is when you honestly show some of the problems you're having and how you work through it. Very interesting.
Derek your episodes never disappoint!!
Love your builds !
Thanks!
Thank you for providing countless hours of entertainment. After a long week of work, its so nice to sit back on Friday evenings to relax and watch your fun videos. Keep up the awesome work and warmest regards from Melbourne, Australia.
Great choice of muffler. I personally love the Magnaflow exhaust sound and quality
Derek and Dulcich are, by FAR my two favorite hosts!
The episode of Roadworthy Rescue with the two of them was GREAT!
If I drank, I'd love to knock back a couple beers with them!
My friend 71/2 swinger with the 318, sure was fun during my high school years.
I've always been a big fan of the Borla mufflers good tone and not annoying
I might be a little partial because they are made in my back door I'm not far way from their plant plus I love the sound. I had a set on my older Duramax and they sounded good even though it wasn't made for a diesel. They sounded awesome on it. I was also a big Flowmaster fan as well.
I cant wait! I ordered some stuff from your shop and it'll be here Monday. I sure hope I win it! Wish me luck! 😊
Thanks and good luck!
Derek that car is going to be a good o mean car thank you for making my night with your video can’t wait for the next one
Good luck Brother
It's going to be amazing. A family doesn't get any better then yours brother.
I have a family and I ain't arguing with you lol.
Yes you choose the right mufflers. Magma flow is always the right choice. They sound awesome let the engine breath while adding a nice deep note. The last forever.
its nice to see a man and his family happy ! Derek shows you not to worry about making everything perfect. THANK YOU
I absolutely love the Flowmaster Super 10s! This takes me back to the days when Flowmaster used to put sound files of all their mufflers online. Not sure if they still do that, but love this video!
Yes
Used to be made in USA tho😢
SOOOOOPER TENNNNNNSSSS
Honestly if your life sux too hard & you're going to start up the Duster in a closed garage sucking on a bottle of rot gut, then you'd wanna go dirt napping to a heavenly growl.
That is beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best flairing tool I've ever seen. 😳
Made by Eastwood...I have one.
VERY high quality and works perfectly every time. Around $150 IIRC
I have one I bought from Brake and Equipment in Minneapolis. Works awesome.

Am i the only one that felt old as soon as he mentioned captain planet lol? Epic work as usual Derek! thanks for everything you do!
Great day to relax on a Friday evening! Always look forward to your uploads Derek.
Keep up the good work, we appreciate what you do.

That's gonna be a sweet ride. Sounds like it's raining on that metal roof. Love that sound as much as the magna flo
Nice to see a working space with bearings, some kind of throttle for a moped?, brake cleaner, a claw hammer, test leads and odd things laying around. Looks like home!
I liked the flowmaster fx. The magnaflows do sound good. It would sound better with a full length exhaust
I put a pair of the Magnaflows on my 64 chevy 2 pro street, they sounded awesome as heck at idle, really a deep nice tone, then at speed they were way more quiet than I prefer. .

You remind me of me and my brother 15 years ago. I wish I was your neighbor, I’d be helping you every day. Love the father / son truck video.
So excited great way to end my work week. Watching a fella do what he does
Love love love this build! As always a feller is just making hard stuff so simple... You are the best sire!
I really like fun loving attitude and your sense of humor, we enjoy the content with out foul language and temper tantrums. Your a great roll model!
love the 73 duster and the videos...the way you work on the problems is really amazing..i watch every episode
Good choice on the mufflers. Really digging this build. The black steel wheels and raised white letter tires, that, to me, is the correct look for that car.
Thank ya for the Friday night entertainment to go with my wobble pops!! You're the best Derek!!
The Duster sounds great!
Wow..this build reminds me of me being a teenager back in the early 80s...wish I had my old Dart Sport back!
I like the tin can sound of the super 10s, I'd go with them all day and night long.
Well Done Derek and Chad!!!!! Can wait until part Tres!!!!!!!!!
Loved the sound of the Magnaflow as well!

Yep, ran by people like Fetterman, I'm sure it's just as fun being a car guy or gal in PA as it is in Cali.
@@viperfritz4618 I’ll take PA over CA…you all have been getting screwed over for years.
I like Dereks Magnaflow choice for a muffling device. The car sounds angrier and less subdued than the other options.

Oh!! It's Friday!? VGG drops a new episode!? Lets gooooooooooo!... I mean... Let's staaaaaayy!
haha!
Yuuup best comment right here. I'm so ready to never hear that phrase again, needs a craigslist rebuild for sure 😂
You mean "bring the thunder"
I was taking a look at your intro again, and I have to say I never told you how I like the new modern way that you found to plow fields! You kill to birds with one stone! You even replace the snow plow!
Derek, i just took my wife to a shania twain concert and it was phenomenal. She is 58, but doesnt look or sound 58. The 90s baby in me came out and i loved it. So definitely go to a 90s country concert if you can!
Flowmaster FX would be my pick based on how it sounded on my end. But the Magnaflow is a very good tone as well!
Sounds amazing can’t wait to drive it 😂 😊, got my orders in and ready to roll
This is my dream car..don't wake me up!! When I was younger this was the ticket..I just want to enjoy every second of this build! Thank You!

This was an epic episode, really love all the in depth of the knick knacks. You always see bolting the engine in, and next thing you know its running. The power steering just magically happens. That said, those lines are bastids... even the correct line for the exact application often fights ya 😅
Like a brand new line from O'Reilly with the wrong thread pitch I tried to put on.....dang metric crap looking similar and whatnot. After trying to thread it into a pump for 30 minutes I finally held it next to the other one and had a little breakdown, and then got a ride to get the correct hose.....
I’ve prayed hard to be fortunate enough to win your Duster ! Thanks to you and your family. God bless you guys!
Your channel has always been great but it’s better than ever now as you add more cars and trucks, more builds, exhaust tests and Motorsport content. You now have the best channel on TH-cam in my opinion. Just keep doing more of the same great stuff and trust in your intuition as it’s always been spot on.
Thanks so much!
@@ViceGripGarage you’re welcome Derek. You’ve inspired millions to return to the garage build their dreams on wheels and bring us back to the America we all know and love. No amount of praise or money can equal that. It’s pure gold
Glad I found this channel. Love working on old cars. But now... I'm learning the terminology and what everything is actually called. Just finished the yellow corvette video. New subscriber. Love the detail. I'm 53 and already learned a few things from ya. Thanks! "Cross thread is natures free lock tight"
Magnaflow one of the better brands in terms of quality- excellent welds, a lot of pride in their internal baffling/packing etc. as a wholesaler usually the only time we saw returns on then was if it had a dent in transport! stainless is also so important when you consider the issues of condensation/heat/rust- a big cause of blowouts in mild steel mufflers!
I have a magnaflow catback exhaust that was installed on my 2003 vehicle in 2007 and it has seen at least 10 salt belt winters, still looks/sounds fantastic.
Sounds very grumbelly!!👍 Can't wait to see her finished!!
The magna flow sounds awesome great job Derek
Magna flow, I've always been a fan and have had them on several vehicles from a 86 cutlass with a 350 rocket to a 2012 avalanche, i love the deep mellow sound they provide, they are a excellent source for a multitude of applications
Cool thing about mopar parts is they make different bends in the parts that make you think it's the wrong part. Usually fits opposite way the original looked.
I was 50/50 on the magnaflow or the flowmaster FX, both had the nice deep tone from what I could hear with a bit of throat on the throttle up. I think you picked the best ones IMO
I liked both too but given the option, 'Merican made FTW!
I love what you're doing with this car. My mom bought a 73 Duster brand new. I remember I was about around 4 years old and riding out of the dealership in the backseat. This started my love of Mopars!! Been watching your Videos for years. Please keep em coming.
G'day Derek :) I am so jealous of your subscribers in the US of A. I would KILL to get my hands on that car. I had a 1970 Valiant VG Coupe with a 360 and 727 auto. It looked as rough as a piece of 36 grit sanding disc. Faded gold metalic paint with primer patches where I had cut out the rust and welded in new metal patches. It had a 600 holley, Pacemaker headers with 3" collectors. It had some strange home made mufflers and exited at the rear of the car. This car went way better than it looked. Im in Brisbane, Australia so no chance of winning your car. Keep up the great work. I throughly enjoy your videos. Trust me when I say I feel your pain at times. Been there, done that. Im 64 years old and am a self taught mechanic. I have been playing with cars since I was 12. Did my very first car restoration when I was 17. It was a 1963 EJ Holden Station Wagon. Would love to meet you some day. Need to win the lotto to make that happen lol/ Keep up the good work mate. Cheers Pete
Great build! The little Duster was the economy two door sedan for that make. It did have a performance package and styling available. But what you saw on the road mostly was the economy package. So not much of a muscle car . Great work so far on the engine build and choice of muffler's. Clean up the interior and clean up the exterior/paint. The current tires are a very good brand and quality / size combination. Cheers and keep on bringing us such great content!!!!! Take more time out for yourself,,,REST,,, Family time there . Great show.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 There was no "performance " package. Well maybe a "performance " sticker package! 😅😅😅
Sounds great 👍.
also, please bring back the musical interlude. it was cool seeing you play on that one episode long time back.
Yes, I would love to see that! I bought a pair of Porter mufflers for my '40 Ford pickup project but it will be a while before I'm to the point of installing them. Love watching your channel!
