Whats your favorite Glasspacks,CherryBombs,Smithys,Summit & Why??

I just bought two 27'' smithys for my stock 350sbc and should have them in tonight. I to am looking for the 50's mellow tone.

 

No mufflers on my Nailhead. 1 5/8" dia. 84"long Lakes pipes. Not too bad,until I jump on it. Then it raps!

 

I have the Cherry Bombs on my F100 with a 289. Doesn't sound too bad but I would go with Smithy's instead. I'm swapping mine out soon.

 

I gotta jump on the bandwagon for Brockman Mellowtones. Brock is a Kustom guy from way back. He makes them himself. He'll make them in different lengths (12" to 48"?) for you, with either glass, steel or no packing inside them. He does them with a special "twist" that makes them sound SOOOOOO good!
Support the little guys making custom stuff for us!

 

I just ordered my Brockman Mellowtones. Brock is a great guy to talk to, really takes the time. I told him what kind of sound I wanted, the engine and on what car - his answer was 22" steel paks. Can't wait!

 

Are the blue 'WALKER - CONTINENTAL' mufflers still available?
i see alot of rods built in the 60s-70s still have these mufflers on them & they are still blue. -

blue continentals were put on my nomad sometime in the early 70s & i left them on & they are still blue & deep -not annoying yet.

 

I have always been a fan of 12" summits burned out. I have been looking for some info on Spiral flow though, anyone have anything to add to this thread?

What he said! Put steelpacks on grandsons 289 Galaxie and sounds so sweet. The steelpacks will retain their sound longer than the glasspacks.

 

I myself am a Bomb man. Good sounds and a tough case>>>>.

 

I like the <b> Smithy's </b> I have used them since the 50's
Just my 3 cents!

 

I have the shorty Cherry Bombs behind my 250 straight 6 w/ stovebolt headers and 2.5" out to the rear bumper. Mellow cruise and mellow idle but look out when you rap it out. Could be a potential window breaker. FUN!

 

Cherry Bombs all the way!

"Disturbing the Peace since 1968"...just like me!!

 

BROCKMAN'S!

Fer de ole skool sound!

 

I have TRASH (thrush) mufflers an my daily and on my coupe $19.95 on sale.My bronco is a 300 ci. 6 and is very mellow almost no sound, have not run the coupe yet.

 

If I use mufflers, the old "Thrush".

 

I just saw these on e-bay. NEVER heard of them !!!! Anybody have info - experience?

Smithy's. Just got mine installed yesterday, and I love them!

 

I used cherry bombs on my flathead. Great sound that just gets better with time. The bigger the bassier. GREAT!!

 

I have run a pair of Brockman Mellowtones steel packs on my 49 Olds for 20 years and thay are still good. I went through 3 pairs of Smithy's in 6 year on my 48 chevy 6 cyl. I will only use Brockmans from now on.

 

My favorite is whatever sounds the best. What I'm saying is, any certain muffler will not sound the same on every car. Example, a few years ago a guy pays me to install a small block Chevy in his car that he bought from a friend. He leaves my shop to get a new exhaust system. For now, forget which mufflers he chose, but they sounded like shit. My neighbor at my shop complex came to me after the guy left, and said that's the worst sounding exhaust he'd ever heard. Well, a week later he scatters that motor, and pays me to build him something with a little balls. I do, and with that same exhaust, that thing just sang. Me and my neighbor were stunned at the difference in sound between the 2 motors through the same exhaust system

 

STEELPACKS.....only way to go....Whatever brand.....
Smittys in the fifties were steel pack...not anymore..
The best ones from the fifties do not exist anymore...DOUGLASS..PORTER.
were the ones everyone wanted

 

lol! that aint no lie!

btw, thanks for calling me with your phone in your open exhaust! "is this loud?" yes it is you nut!

 

Got 18" Cherry Bombs on the Y-block in my truck. 1 7/8" pipe, mufflers all the way forward, and pipes straight out under the bumper. Nice & rumbly from inside, and an awesome rap outside.

 

Yes, I was going to say that. They do still make Purple Hornies (Holley Performance product now).

 

i have a question has anyone used those seamless 'packs thatspeedway sells?are they any good?

 

i got 22" smithys on the flathead whata fine fucking sound they make NOTHING sounds as good as a flattie through smithys

 

Smithys For The Sound
