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

Porters!!!!!!!

 

Porters. Where are they in the poll?

 

Yep, the newer Cherry bomb flow-thru w/a steel rectangular box construction. Has a nice note, and I plan for a resonator to tune out the peak rpm note at ~2200rpm. 2.0 Ford DOHC Duratec motor.

LOVE that Suburban! Very Cool!!

 

I think by now, everyone knows our mufflers are the real deal! The sound clips are true and they are constructed the same way as they were back in the day! Hand-crafted, made in the USA, and same 14 gauge steel tubing. Heavy duty, each one weighs 10-11 lbs. (depending on size). We still have customers come in with Porters from 25 years ago still on their cars and want to finally replace them with a new set.
Thanks everyone who has supported us in re-launching these FAMOUS mufflers!
We are giving away a muffler today, 10:00am Central time. See rules on CONTEST thread (It's a sticky)

 

Where's the Porter Muffler option??????????/

 

I dunno what it is with you guys and exhaust notes, but any of the pack mufflers sound like crap to me. Flowmasters or nothin here.

 

I voted "Purple Hornies" ( I just like the name) but I have flow Masters....

 

Just what I'm looking for. I want my next one to be so quiet that all I can hear is the fan blade turn. Any ideas?

 

Has anyone ever used Powersticks?

 

Powersticks sound great

 

Dual straight pipes here.
I remember Thrush, Cherry Bombs and of course Smittys from the 50s and 60s but never heard of Porters

Got em on my 51 Chevy. Sound great!!

 

That would be my Vicky on their website. When they first started to reproduce them I talked with Clark and took a shot they'd be the real deal.......they are.

-Smithys on my '39 Ply ('55 Dodge flat 6, Fenton head, Langdon headers, Edmunds intake w/2 Carter 1 bbls)
-Porters on my '46 Ply ('59 Dodge flat 6, Sharp head, tube headers, Edmunds intake w/2 Holley Weber 2 bbls)
- I prefer the Smithys

 

Found this link on e bay regarding the walker blues,supposedly they have more for other applications....http://www.ebay.com/itm/PR-NOS-WALK...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5893933d9e

What about the brockman's do they really sound that good? Those porters sounded sweet but for me a little steep for a single one.

 

i just put on a pair of spintech prostreet mufflers..really like them...3'' inlet/outlet,12'' long 6'' wide,4'' thick.......

 

Spintechs are it !!! Have them on my L 88 32 Victoria Sounds nasty cruzin but mellows out on the highway

 

And they have a reputation for not costing much power either, unlike all of the mufflers on the list. Unless its a 100% absolutely period-correct '50s hot rod, none of the mufflers on the original poll with even make my short list.
If it IS a 100% absolutely period-correct '50s hot rod, smittys.

 

I track tested 2 chamber 3.5" flowmasters against Dynomax 3.5" bullets, no contest. The dynomaxes were more than a tenth better. Both of them were LOUD AS HELL, but it was a pretty healthy motor. The no-flowmasters were a little quieter at idle, but at WOT there was no discernible difference in noise level. One thing about the flowmasters, if you are running a REALLY big cam, all that popping and banging at part throttle cruise that makes a mild motor sound badd-ass becomes REALLY OBNOXIOUS with a big cam thats still loping at cruise speed. I preffered the bullets, while they were a tad louder, they werent as annoying. With the flowmasters, I wound up wearing earplugs if I was going to be in the car for very long.

 

x2??

 

Have any of you guys tried the auger style mufflers from speedway? I put one in line with my OT vehicle's muffler (because it's a V6 and sounds like crap); it made it a little bit quieter and really changed the overall tone (to a much more bearable one).

 

I would like to hear what the walker blues sounded like.Seems like they were all the rage in what the 70's?

 

I have brockman,s glass packs on my chevy and steelpacks on my y-block ford

 

Got Brockmans on the 34.

Absolutely correct.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQXNWWtbKZ0

 

Im tryin to decide on mufflers for the 56 F100 now. Flowmasters everyone seems to have.
I ran cherrybombs on my Challenger in the 70's liked them, but my memory is getting nostalgic.
What I dont like is a ratty sound with popping and cracking under deacceleration. The motor Im running is a 302 Ford.
