Re: Muffler review
Started running with Smithy's the sound was OK but I didn't like the shape. With the flat ends they didn't fit my Red's exhaust system very well and would knock on the X member. I then switched to Cherry Bombs brand. Great sound but a little louder, rounded ends so they fit very well (may be slightly shorter than the Smithy's?) and they were very inexpensive (about $50 for the pair). https://cherrybomb.com/project/glasspack/

I have Porters on my roadster and like the sound. Pleasant when driving.

Re: Muffler review
Flatheads are quiet motors, so Smithy's or Brockmans are fine I bought the long ones. I have Brockmans. They sound beautiful.
I put Brockmans on my 56-292 Y block. I called and spoke to Mr. Brockman and he informed me that Y blocks are are very loud motors and advised me to buy the longest muffler they make. I did that and and the car sounded terrible. I then swapped to 30" Smithys, they are a little better, but still have a rapping sound. If you have a standard shift you can play around with the RPM and get up to speed without making a spectacle of your self. With a ford-o-matic you have to get on the gas to move into traffic. A Y-block is a long stroke motor and is simply too loud for me. Here I am 1 year later planning on installing Walker Quiet tone mufflers. I've been all over Y-tube trying to hear a set of Walkers, no luck. I guess no one has ever used them. Nothing sounds better than a Y-block with smithy's at idle, but when you stand on it, they become nauseaous. My 2c |

Re: Muffler review
There is my vote. Those old Spyders really sounded great. I put a set on a van.
