HotRoddin, On a 60's style gasser would you recommend Smithys or the HI-FLO Header Mount Glass packs you sell? If Smithys, what length? My car has a 350 SBC with 2.5 exhaust. Looking to put these under the running boards for when I dont open the cutouts.
I have them on 3 cars. A 32 with a 327, a 40 with 327 and a 36 with a 283. $0 is the quietest and the 36 is the loudest. Nice mellow tone.
CORRECT, because SMITH was next to a machine shop, and used the discarded "CHIPS" and Chuck Porter told me and several others, HE was next to an Overhead garage door business, and the door business would chop the springs to different sizes, so Chuck got the Idea of putting the springs inside a piece of tubing, closing both ends and run the exhaust thru it. Porter Mufflers came out of his muffler shop and into Hot Rod Magazine. no kidding..
I just got my Smithys delivered! It will be a week before I can hear them, cant wait. Really glad I bought these finally. The 7 rows of spiral louvers inside are unique!
