Pima Pants Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I put one on my 1962 Impala. I replaced a perfectly good factory muffler. Oh well, it sounded cool. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul53 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Those and Lake pipes with a exhaust cap just behind the front tires. Wide open exhaust for racing, put the cover plate over it for street use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Had a 72 Maverick Grabber I bought brand new and then added a bunch of after market stuff to the 302. Headers and 12" Mitchel mufflers with 3' of scavenger pipes was one of the mods. Ran a 14 second quarter mile with street tires. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueiron Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 In 1999, I bought some slip on Hooker Header mufflers for my Harley. Nice tone without being obnoxious, looked great, perfect quality... the only problem was that I expected the heart sticker and it didn't come with them.

KWalrad Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 My father put Thrush mufflers on every vehicle that he owned back then. They usually lasted about a year in the rust belt. I think he owned stock in the company because every Spring out came the car ramps and U-clamps. Actually, I think he preferred laying out in a gravel driveway sucking down Shaeffers and PBRs over listening to his wife cuss him out for buying mufflers that were made out of old Shaeffer and PBR cans. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 my buddy lived about 1/2 mile from me when i was a teenager and he had a 1969 GTO at the time the 400 was gone so we built a 383 stroker with probably 11.1 and Thrush Glasspacks and turndowns that dumped right out under the floor boards. i could hear him start that car and him coming all the way from his house to my house to pick me up. weirdly his mom paid for a whole exhaust system for that car the next Christmas. i preferred the Thrush to the Purple hornies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite stories was from a writer, for Cycle I think, who was interviewing Dick Mann somewhere. Mann was sitting on his bike when a Very Important Sponsor came up and interrupted the interview. He handed Mann a decal and said he had to apply it "right now!" in order to keep the sponsorship. Mann, without skipping a beat, stuck the decal onto the inside of his fairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he taught us more bad driving habits than good. He did keep our attention in class though with his stories. "Look Dave, you either gotta go fast over these little holes in the road so you don't feel them or slow down and drive around them, your choice" Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
