Trying to get a good deep sound out of the muffler on my 36 coupe. Installed a used smithy muffler and sounds good (to me) but connecting the 1&1/2 inch tail pipe and it quitens down too much for what I wanted. So was wondering if a larger diameter tail pipe would keep the rumble that the muffler makes?? Appreciate suggestions , Thanks

Do you have duals or a single pipe? Duals with a nice set of 24"glasspacks will get you the sound you want. Duals on a '36 are a little bit of a challenge due to the location of the battery box, but it can be done.

Only a single exhaust on the coupe. We do have a 36 sedan with duals and it does sound good. Something to think about.

A 2" pipe will allow more sound at the back, but I doubt if it will give you the sound that you enjoy from your duals. Go with a shorter glass pack muffler and keep the 1 1/2" tail pipe. Tom

The muffler went bad on my original '35 fordor sedan. While looking for an original type replacement muffler, I decided to temporarily put in a straight section of pipe. That was about three years ago. The sound is great as far as I am concerned. John
