Thanks again for all the posts, I plan on rebuilding the engine before I change the exhaust, I am running some sort of headers a guy told me I think they were reds or something there shortty headers all 4 exhaust ports go to one tube outlet not individual exhaust tubes going to a coupler

Your truck sounds great,4Speed!

Started out with a 2 in. and long glass pack system. Glass packs were like 30 in. long I re-did the system with 2 1/4 in. and shorter 2 Chamber Flowmasters. It was okay but just sounded too "pingy" to me. Really didn't like the sound. I now have 18"  2 1/4"  Cherry Bombs. Its loud and think I'm probably going to change it with a equalizer pipe. It will be a lot quieter at idle at least. That and I'm going to put on some Rams Horn manifolds too, be curious to see how the engine will react to that from the modified car manifolds I'm currently running.  If you ever want a good cheap muffler thats on the load side, put some tractor mufflers on sometime, I think the company is Stanley Muffler Co.

Thats what smithy's sound like with long tube headers dumped right after the cab. Quiet but noticeable idle and loud when you romp on it.

I am very happy with Brockman Mellowtone glasspacks on my '59 F250.They make steelpacks also.They are really well made,sound great,and are reasonable.

Yeah, I like music.  But when I'm pure stock racing my T-Bird, I tune the radio to the track's frequency.  Sometimes the announcer will mention which car has a better reaction time, gives you a little information about how to drive the end of the race.  Won't work in the Hurricane though, it has no mufflers.  Hey, that's what this thread is about--mufflers!

Moz,

   Depends on what's on the radio. I do best with some good mellow Jazz. Basie, Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Feistritzer makes me turn it off in the tow truck.

I used turbo tubes, & lopped off the offset inlet & outlets.  I then found a pipe that would fit perfectly w/it's od inside the tubes.  I then slid it up, past the 1st noise chambers. I flared it out to accept the 2 1/2 I used.  Idle is a bit more melow than a glass pack.  Off idle is in line w/ a typical cherry bomb.  From about 2300 up, it cakels like a cross between a worn glasspack & a straight pipe.  I think they started out as about 18" long, effectively they have about 13" of area for noise reduction.  What I like most is they do not have the back rap sound that most glasspack systems have.  I don't even have a crossover, still no back rap.
