I am looking for a Smittys Muffler from the 1950,s NOS or in good used condition. 1 or a pair let me know what you have. Thanks. BOB.

Speedway Motors has them for sale brand new. I bought some from Hot Rod and Custom Supply. Have been on the car for 18 years Still look new. HR&CS is out of business.

The correct name of those old mufflers is SMITHY, and Summit has them.

Edit: I called Summit, they said they have NOT handled Smithy mufflers
for a couple years now.
As Joe said, Speedway does have them, and still lists them in their catalog.

For what it's worth I have a pair of Smithy's on a '47 tudor and a pair of Brockman mellow tones on a '39 pickup. My personal preference is the Brockman mellow tones.

Having used many Smithy's mufflers in the 50's and 60's I can tell you the new ones are not the same as the originals. The originals had a very deep mellow tone. The news ones are quite loud.

Wow. I have the new ones, and they're too quiet. I reversed them to make them louder but made no difference. Mine are 22".

I have a pair of 22" Smithys on my AV8 and they have a nice rumble, but not too loud. But I have no tail pipes yet.
