I know there a lot of stock Model A'ers that have or have an interest in speedsters. Please don't read any farther if this may offend you.


I have a Cherry Bomb muffler on my speedster now and I don't really care for the chop, chop , chop sound and would like something a little more mellow. Any suggestions?
 
I have old 80s Mercedes turbo diesel mufflers on my smiths compresser and chevy truck --2-1/4", straight through ---both are quiet, but I put the one on the chevy backwards and a BIG black cloud of soot came out at first --the chevy(350) sounds good, but not annoying, the smiths it is more of a pffft pfft---quite surprising because they are baisically a large glasspack type of muffler.

a little $$ to buy new, mine are ones that fell off because of rusted pipes--so far 8 years on the truck and it sits outside, 15 years on the compresser---
 
Id sugest like an old harley davidson muffler and that way you can have it tur out from under the car out the side never tyed it but always thought about it/
 
I took an old style Model A Muffler - 20 years ago it ws a $49 muffler - ripped it down middle and took all the baffels out then sewed (welded) it back together and shortened it by 6". It looks like a Model A muffler and keeps the cops happy at the same tiem. The last 2 feet of the tail pipe are enlarged to 2 " dia. Got it on my speedster. The sound is kinda like a Chevy 350.
 
on my '31 coupe, i ran a $35. smithy from summit raceing. old school muffler. they have a nice mellow tone. JAN i also had a reds two outlet header and duals.
 
Any others? I'm looking for a more mellow sound than what I have but since it's just a stock 4 banger with a HC head I'd like it to sound good without being overly loud.
 
I would think any of those cigar shaped glass pack straight through mufflers or similar tractor muffler would fit the bill.
