Exhaust System going in on the 64 Shortwide
I just went down to the shop where the guy is putting in the muffler system. This guys is doing a great job. He has it done from the Shorty Collectors to the mufflers. When he calls me to pick it up I am going to ask him to keep it up on the rack so I can take some pictures. I will post them tonight. Its going to be great not hearing the clanging from the Trac Bar Perch hitting the tail pipe and the drive shaft scraping on the mufflers. Im looking forward to hearing how loud these Thrush mufflers are going to be. Looks like its going to be tomorrow, The Stainless Tips didn't show up.

Re: Exhaust System going in on the 64 Shortwide
       This thing sounds great. No resonance hum at speed and a mean rumble at Idle. These Thrush Mufflers are great for the price. JRBECK64 Last edited by JRBECK64; 03-30-2010 at 08:21 PM. |

Re: Exhaust System going in on the 64 Shortwide
Very nice! That's just about how I did my exhaust, particularly the down pipe from the collector around to the outside of the frame...

This is the first one I have had done to the outside of the frame rail and I really like how it looks and how its tucked up where you cant see it. Going down the middle of the truck you have to go under the Trans Mount and from a distance you can see it hanging low. Thats why I like this way better. Thanks for the compliment. JRBECK64 |

Are you running a big block? 3 inches is a butt load of flow! That is one great looking exhaust system, Nice Work. One other thing this guy did was he ran the exhaust inside the flange on the Shorty Headers so there would be no chance of the lower flange blowing out on me. This takes all the pressure off the connection where the pipe and the header hooks together. I was talking with my Wife about getting a pipe bender and some flare tools so I could do this myself but Im not sure that doing 5 trucks constitutes buying a $2K to $3K tool. Im sure I would gather a lot more friends if I had one though. I think I would rather spend some money on a Plasma cutter to help out with the panel replacements. |

My older Son is coming over this weekend to work on his 69 Long Fleet and I am going to have him make a sound clip for it then I will post it. This thing sounds like a million bucks. I really like the fact that it settles down at highway speeds. It has great rumble at idle and when you get in it, it barks but when you get out of it settles right down to a nice tone. JRBECK64 |

Re: Exhaust System going in on the 64 Shortwide
Nice! I was woundering about running a 3" pipe down the outside. Now that i know it's possible, I just need to build the rest of the truck...

Re: Exhaust System going in on the 64 Shortwide
that sounds good...in person, does the sound resemble any other brands, or does it have a sound of its own?

Its a little hard to explain. This exhaust has a higher tone than most Ive heard. Not tinny but its almost like you can hear each detonation in the cylinders unlike most kind of melt together. I really like the way this thing sounds. Its not real loud when you get it up to speed and when its idleing its has a great sound. I was told that they are similar to the 40 Series of the Flowmasters but I dont think they sound anything like the Flowmasters. I think these are more quiet than the Flowmasters. The sound clip is ok but I dont think it really represents the actual sound. JRBECK64 |

Re: Exhaust System going in on the 64 Shortwide
Is it an optical illusion or are the tips smaller than the rest of the exhaust?
What size tubing did you use?

Its 2 inch. This is not a real heavy breathing 327, its the small journal 69 275 HP model but with the upgrades its probably just over 300 Ponies. Tip do look pretty small coming out the back. JRBECK64 |

Re: Exhaust System going in on the 64 Shortwide
I took the Truck out on the freeway today and these mufflers mellow out at 55 to 65. I didn't want to push the truck being it was the first highway speed run I took it on. I am really impressed with these mufflers and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great sounding rumble at idle and something that mellows at highway speeds.

Re: Exhaust System going in on the 64 Shortwide
I`m running thrush mufflers, although very old with 2 inch pipes with a stock motor, they sound nice, they don`t over whelm you when your out for long runs, unlike my coupe with a gear drive that drives you batty....
