Re: Brockman steel packs
I'm the "odd man out" on this thread. My 45 1/2 ton is like a BMW motorcycle, you see it go by, you don't hear it. The loudest noise it makes is the starter turning the motor over. When I put the clutch in you can hear the throw-out bearing turning. One of my friends calls it my stealth truck because he can't hear it when I drive up to his shop even when he has the door open. I'm not wanting to offend anyone for their choice of mufflers but, I outgrew all that noise thing fifty years ago about the same time I started loosing my hearing from too much loud noise.

Re: Brockman steel packs
My first flathead was a very low mileage '46 Ford sedan coupe I bought in 1971. When I stopped to show it to my dad he said start it up and lets hear it,told him I never shut it off.It was the quietest and smoothest running flathead Ford I have ever owned,you could definitely do the Packard coin test on the engine. Every other flathead I have done since got away from the original factory build by necessity but all had noisy adjustable lifters and after market internals that never seemed as balanced as that first one I owned. Duals would have been an insult on it.

Re: Brockman steel packs
Over the weekend I shot some video with my phone but, I didn't post it because the audio does not give a true representation of the actual sound of the Brockman's on my '39 CS.

Re: Brockman steel packs
Vic, you are in the audio/video production business so I shouldn't say this, BUT, I told my son the same thing. He said when it gets to a computer it sounds better.

Re: Brockman steel packs
Gene, I'm used to professional broadcast quality recording equipment... I'll try it again and upload it to the computer and see if the sound quality improves... Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Re: Brockman steel packs
Are the short Brockman steel packs as loud as straight pipes?

Re: Brockman steel packs
They were on my car ! I tried straight pipes on my '37 . Too loud for me . Then I went w/the short , 12" body Brockman's . Woman taking my order said they were " the loudest ones we have " . She wasn't lying ! I couldn't tell the difference between them and straight pipes . Then I went to PepBoys and got a pair of Magnaflow glasspacks . They have an 18" body , and a nice deep rumble , which was just right for me .

Re: Brockman steel packs
Well, I went with 12" Brockman steel packs. There not that loud. I want more rump. Looks like I'm gonna need a L-100 cam and take out the max-1 cam and go straight pipes.It does sound good though.

Re: Brockman steel packs
Sounds good ! I do not have the pipes running out the rear on mine , I am sure that made it louder , especially in the car .
