jorswift Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Well, its that time where I need a new exhaust as mine is shot from rust and sitting. Was thinking about adding a dual exhaust setup, but I know these flat heads dont make to much deep noise. I was thinking about adding some cherry bombs to make some racket. I havent ever used a cherry bomb so I have no experience with them. Any one have any suggestions? Thanks. Quote
Mark D Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Here's quick video clip of the mail order "stock" exhaust I bought off ebay and installed last month. The sound from the muffler surprised me. Too my ear it's plenty throaty when I want it to be and quiet for cruising with the bride by my side. Quote
Robert Horne Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 39 Plymouth. On my 38, I am not running any muffler, yet, only 2 inch pipe all the way to the rear. I plan on experimenting with different mufflers soon. At 80HP it is not really tooooo loud,, maybe... Quote

Do you have anymore info on the system off of EBay? Sellers name, item info, etc.? Thanks. Quote
Mark D Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 The sellers name on ebay "sat1966", you should be able to search under sellers with that name. The name of the company is "Classic Car Exhaust". I beleive they are located in western PA or eastern OH. I was very happy with the quality of the system. Note you will need to provide your own front pipe to exhaust manifold gasket as well as three additional exhaust pipe clamps. Quote
norville Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 http://stores.ebay.com/Klasskollection-Exhaust-Systems?_rdc=1 I just got mine here off ebay. Although, I bought it without mufflers and with "loose" manifold flanges. Also I told them I wanted it for dual exhaust and the angled the second set of pipes for me. I didn't hook it up yet but they look great. Quote
Don Coatney Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 I had a local muffler shop bend me a new set of pipes from the manifold to the tailpipe. I supplied the two mufflers and they did the rest for two hundred bucks. Quote
1941Rick Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Don..do you have room on the left side for the pipe to pass the fuel tank? I do not have the room on my P12 without shifting the tank over a few inches.... Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 couple shots I have of Don's left pipe and tank Quote
carls 49 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 had a local shop put duals in. one cherry bomb and split pipes after it. sounds o.k., but not real loud. not sure it would ever be to loud with nothing special done to the flathead eng. . Quote
1941Rick Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 i have headers and dual carbs with Thrush glass packs....Its loud..I may run the headers into a stock muffler then out the back with dual 2 1/2 pipes.....muffler shops around here used to stock a variety of mufflers so you could see what they all sounded like...not anymore...you have buy and try...no returns....

Don Coatney Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 couple shots I have of Don's left pipe and tank TIM!; Those look like belly shots! Who wins for the biggest? Why is Richie smiling? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 no winners there...Richie was probably thinking, monkies nothing, football 2 Quote
Frank Elder Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 had a local shop put duals in. one cherry bomb and split pipes after it. sounds o.k., but not real loud. not sure it would ever be to loud with nothing special done to the flathead eng. . Carl it all depends on the length of your cherry bomb 30 inches...granny's car, 12 to 18 inches.....straight pipe, you're probably looking for something inbetween. Quote
jorswift Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Posted March 30, 2012 I would like to try Cherry Bomb part # 87507. I am wanting to put a dual exhaust setup from the manifold with headers. Will I need 2 of these to make the best of it? Thanks. Quote
norville Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 I just went to speedway motors and ordered 2 smithy's mufflers,, I got the 30's I wanted quiet... Quote
drillmastertommy Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 I have a pair of 22" Smithy's on a dual 2" system that comes off a set of Langdons cast iron headers. It's not quiet but it's certainly not offensive, it has a lovely deep tone that sounds great when you give it a little throttle. Quote
hkestes41 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 I have Langdon's cast iron headers with 2 inch pipes and a cross over or "H" pipe propably 3 inches aft of the front edge of the door. Feeds into short 14 inch trubo style mufflers. They are a little louder now after a couple years but not a great deal. I think they sound pretty good. Quote
