It all depends on the length. I like Brockman Mellow tones.

I have the short Porter mufflers. Not real loud but a very mellow rumble.

Frank I’m sorry I can’t remember the name of this muffler. It’s 2.5” and offset the same as an original and almost the exact same length. I’ve made the entire exhaust including the headers & was a tough job following the correct path on my RHD 35 convertible sedan. Anyway, stock engine, but it sounds really nice and mellow. I opted for a single exhaust to keep the battery under the floor. I’m really happy with it, just enough noise!😁

Danny, how did you do the bends and is that stainless.
I will have to make one for the 34, as I took it off today to adjust its a small amount and see it has a couple pin holes in it.
You steering boxes are done, they are just at Haydens waiting to be painted

To bring out the sound of a real strong flathead eliminate the mufflers altogether.

1.75" pipe and short (around 16" or less) glass packs (or Porters).

Well Dan, the picture shows the same style muffler that Ford used to hang on the back of early Falcons

Mine came with what I call glass packs, not ID on them. I'll see how they sound first. Well first will be starting the rebuilt engine with no mufflers.

Lawrie the bends are mandrel bends I purchased on eBay. Yes they’re stainless and they were easy to weld with my mig. The tube I purchased from midway metals in Townsville. It was way cheaper than any exhaust shop could do. Ps there was a couple of tweaks I needed to do and I had to adjust the 2.5” rollers in my manual pipe bender so I could do minor pipe bends without distorting the tube. It sounds great on the 35 engine you built for me.
