eh up gents ive not posted in a dogs age so hope your all well and ive just fitted a pair of Porter mufflers on my coupe so heres a little vid of them i think theysound kind of groovey
they are a bit hard to hear over that noisy thing atop your engine.... you should take it off and send it to me. sounds good
GREAT! I just got my 2 Porters in the mail...2 1/2" in 2 1/2" out, and had NO idea what they'd sound like. What size are yours, and what size/model engine? Mine are going on the engine in my Avitar, and I HOPE they sound as good as yours. The Video is GREAT! You should send a copy to Porter...they'd love it...
I had an older hot rodder tell me once that Smittys purr and Porters rap. Sounds great, I giggled too!
I had a pair of Smithys on my old '39 W/283, it sucked.......you couldnt even hear it run. That video was great, I'm definitely considering a set of Porters for my car.
thanks very much chaps , the motors is a 302 cleveland with a v6/71 all home brewed (with a lot of help from my tamed engineering dude) the porters are 2inch in and out carnt wait to get it back out on the road
well ive been out for a blap round and they sound groovey (if i do say so lol)and they havent got that head splitting noise that you get with cheerybombs nice and smooth till you hit the loud button and thats about the time every one hears an 8 comming at them he he he
Porters were the hot tip back when I was a teenager in the 50's when it was flatheads, "pennies in the manifold" ( you used copper pennies, flattened out a little larger in OD, then file to fit and block the heat riser passages for a harder rap), and Porters. I would be using them on my current build, an A/V8 roadster w/SBC if I had an undercar exhaust, cause I love their sound. But I'm using Sanderson roadster type headers and I'm gonna use spiral turbo baflles inside the 3.5" side pipes. I finally found a U tube video of a set on a Vette, and I like the sound. Dave
Sound great! I finally ordered a pair for my Pontiac a week ago, but they are on backorder. I can't wait to get them.
Pulled the body off the Roadster last week, so that I could install the exhaust system the easy way. I had been wondering if I made the right decision, buying 40" X 2 1/2" Porters to put on my blown 291 DeSoto. Well, it WAS the right decision. Fired it up with the complete exhaust mocked up, and it's THE sound I was looking for! And the blower DOES whine...I can hear it now ...
Old custom car guy near me has a pair of old originals still in old boxes he was repainting to put on his olds I couldnt belive em absolutely the heaviest muffler I have ever seen.had a spring in side em .I didnt know they still made them found there web site got to have a pair on my 55 ford
