Then you can make some steel packs easy. Good old 50's sound. SS tubing of 2 sizes and a bunch of ss lathe scrap. Different sound from glass packs.

I just googled up porter makes ss steel packs at about 125 or $140 each.

Porters if you want a really sweet sound. http://portermufflers.com/ Listen to a few of their videos as they have several with six cylinders. Not cheap but they do give that really sweet sound.

Waldron's has good muffler selection for vintage look and sound.
