So my '37 Deluxe Fordor V8-85 has had a nicely done dual exhaust installed somewhere along the way, except for the fact that it has some kind of Glasspacks on it which are too loud for my taste for such a stock looking rig. I'm looking for some suggestions on what might be some good muff options that will be relatively quiet, but still give me some good flow with a nice rich deep tone?? I am assuming that the dual exaust in itself, even with the 1.75" pipe gives the Flatty a bit more breathing room than the stock single? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Nice looking car. I always love those grills. They look so classy. Anyway I have always been partial to the DynoMax super turbo mufflers. They came stock on the Saleen Mustang in the late 80's`. They are not loud but leave the deep rumble without the blatty overtones the glass packs have. If there is room adding a crossover pipe ahead of the mufflers will drop the SPL (sound pressure level) of your exhaust 12db and smooth out the tone. Modern mufflers are all designed for systems with a catalytic converter. Most cat's are so restrictive that new cars almost don't need a muffler. Most loud cars today have just straight pipes from the cat back. Without a cat our old cars are just too loud with the modern exhaust systems.

Google "turbo tube mufflers". They are round in shape like a glasspac but are chambered inside. I just this week took a pair off my car because they are too quiet to hear from inside the car. They have a deep, pleasant tone from the rear of the car. This message was edited by 40cpe on 10-21-17 @ 7:02 AM

Thanks for your reply Matt! The Dynomax Super Turbo is one that I was looking into. My space is pretty limited, but they do make some smaller Ovals as well as a few Round Super Turbod that just might fit?

Thanks 40cpe, I have looked into the Jones Turbo Tubes with much interest because they would easily fit into my limited space...., but I can not find any technical data, cut-away views, descriptions or even a drawing of the internals. Even on Jones website there is little to no info. There isn't really any reviews online either?? They are inexpensive enough that if a guy dosen't like them you can just toss them..., but in my case anyway, there is the expense of paying some to R&R so I'm not really wanting to go down that "trial-n-error" rabbit hole!

Whatever muffler you pick just make sure you can't look right through it. The 2" Dynomax I have on my truck is only 14" by 10" I think. It seemed fairly small when I installed it.

I have Brockman mufflers. They will make any inlet/outlet dia. and length you want. I have had a pair for 14 years and love the tone. You can get steel pac. of glass pac.

This picture is a diagram of how turbo tubes are made. Not shown here, but the tubes are perforated.
