40 ford, mufflers other than Smithys?

I have been a fan of Smithy's, but will try Porters the next time around for the 8BA.

 

Thanks for the kind words Rocco!

 

So the longer the muffler the quieter the sound?

 

Well mine's not a flattie but a Ford Yblock. It's getting "Porterized" next week - FINALLY! Got the mufflers from Clark last year and looking forward to hearing it with the Porters installed.

Next project might be my son's 47 SuperDelux Fordor. When the time comes that ol' flathead will also get dual Porters.​

My '56:​

Yes, more sound absorbtion material = quiter sound

 

I've got the short (22") Smithys and love them! If I were to try something different, however, I'd buy Porters.

 

Definitely.

 

porters is what is going on the wagon

 

I put a set of Flowmaster 2 chambers on the last flathead I built. The best sounding muffler at Idle I have heard as long as you have a cam in it. They are built like a tank and use no packing material. Also running them on my SOHC Talladega. I run Smithy's on my 50 Ford Flathead and will run them on my 40 Merc when I convert it to duels later this year great traditional sound.

 

NO MUFFLERS! nothing sounds mor bitchin than an uncorked flatty.

 

Anybody ever try no mufflers with only a cross-pipe?

 

I'm no expert... but I've set a lot of stuff on fire...and I'm pretty sure its a bad Idea to stuff your exhaust with steel wool.

 

Sorry I was referring to this but I'm still learning this site.

 

Uhh..............were going to need a video of that.

 

I have a set of short porters on mine, way better than glasspacks my wagon is the porter website i had 26 inch glasspacks on there before.And trust me i know the porters are short but thats what i wanted. I get questions all the time on what im running for mufflers cause alot of people like the sound

 

Porters are the ONLY mufflers for "The" sound!!!!

Hey Clark...My first pair of Porters came today!! Later on I picked up a nearly complete 41 Flatty and took it over to Juniors Bad Donkee Garage, we did some tradin and I walked out with a Rebel Harness for the 40 Coupe.....Sent a 65 Mustang Fastback to Germany...Good Day all around...
