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

porters

 

has anybody tried these new style cherry bombs? they may have been around for awhile but i just found them. the number is 87885

 

What no Porter's ????

 

Had Flowmasters on my 62 Monterey and my 56 Nomad, 55 F100...never really liked the sound of them... I but just some glasspacks on my 35 Ford( local muffler shop brand CJ's) sound great... Put turbo's on my 62 Poncho wagon... sounds great..

 

Depends on the personality of the car but i go cherry bombs..

 

Jus' glad to see you offer more than a 2.25" pipe inlet.....some of us have nasty motors that need from 2.50" to 3.00" pipes!!!

 

Good muffler but too small...only available in 2.25" inlet? Do they forget that some hot rods have alittle more nasty than stock motor!

 

the new cherry bombs are junk,nothing like the old ones, I would have used a porter, but I ended up making my own

 

I vote for thrush sidepipes...after all, they were on the California Kid. Yes, I think every 34 Ford should have them (NOT)

 

I had Borla mufflers on a B B Chevy with a bad cam in it. Sounded very good, but sold it.

 

I like Smithy's for a flathead....For a SBF, Cherry Bombs are just right, to aggravate the neighbors.............

So many people have been misled by the so called "Original Smithys" mufflers. They sure made them look like the Originals right down to the hammertone blue paint job and the embossed Smithys logo. Well, What they did NOT do was to duplicate the inner core and packing. I sold the original Smithys and still have some that I have kept over the years. The inner core was perforated (just a tube with holes every 1/2 inch or so). When they made the reproductions they simply used what was available which is a louvered inside tube!...That is why they do not sound like the "Real Deal"!. The louvered core traps most of the sound whereas the holes in the originals let the good sounds go through. I was upset when they came out with the reproductions and I saw that they were not a true Smithy. Well, like they say " There is nothing like The Real Thing".
