Muffler Poll - Haven't seen one here...

Please vote on your favorite muffler....

 

That's a tough one.

I've had purple hornies, cherry bombs and the old style Thrush round mufflers.

But I just had tto go with the thrush mufflers. I wish I could find a pair NOS 2.5 inch.

 

there is no spot for us mufflerless guys.....

 

this is a tough one, i had to go with the Thrush i ran several sets of those and like them. but dont flame me too bad im running a set of Dyno Max Turbos on my 51.

 

2nd vote for "NONE."

 

Goerlich Xcelerators!
A.K.A. AP Exhaust Products Xcelerators.

Good crisp glasspack sound, don't sound like farts in a snow suit like some g'packs. Hear them on YOU TUBE.

I like 'em when I actually use my mufflers (cut outs always open)

Nothing beats the sound of steel-packed Mello-Tones on an old car.

 

Straight duals from the manifold to the bumper.

 

voted cherry bombs but i have no idea what the glass packs on my truck are

my favorite would be open though

 

I get so sick-n-tired of the same old Flowmasters on everything.

The choices for me really depend on the sound of the car, and it's personality.

 

My favorite wasn't mentioned - Goerlich M1365...So I went for the cherry bombs.

Who knows ! small round ,straight through and best part FREE!!!

 

Straight for me as well.

 

Well, I know some people don't like them, but I do....

Nothing beats the sound of stock exhaust manifolds with striaght pipes at least to the begining of the axle on any V8 car. I even like the sound of an exhaust system with just resonators. But to answer your question out of all the mufflers you mentioned I have to pick the purple hornets. I know most won't agree with me but SINGLE chamber Flowmasters sound good on a motor with a high lift cam IMO.

 

Porter steelpacks: long gone.

 

none here ..

 

My mother's car has mufflers.

 

What???

 

Probably not a HAMB friendly muffler, but Borla was the only one we ran on the dyno (HR mags muffler shootout) that increased HP and torque over straight pipe. My favorite for that reason (have 28" glasspacks on the 'bird, though).

 

I just like to say, "Purple Hornies."

Not the same as these?

Ohhh!, those sound nice! Thanks Special deluxe

 

Wow! News to me. If they sound the same as the 1957 ones, they're my choice. Thanks for pointing them out.

 

Wow, I just now ordered a set. Those have "the sound."

 

1 cherrybomb
+ sawzall
= baffles for lake pipes on hot rod

 

hmmm, I think those Porters will sound great on a cammed , tunnelrammed SBC in a 55 Chevie

 

I was reading up on mufflers that were used in the 50's and found this post:

Did a search on the web and found out the Porter's are made just on the other side of the river from me in Minneapolis. I'm thinking of using them dual on my Plymouth flat 6.

 

Those on the Porter web site sound better than anything I've heard since I junked out my old '73 GMC 4X4 because of rust. Had headers from Blackjack and 2.5" pipe front to rear with 30" Mitchell Glasspacks with 2.5" core.
My Brookville's gonna have roadster headers with side pipes and spiral baffles inside.

Wonder how the purple hornies sound like.

Porter's sound pretty cool acually.
