I'm wake, well sorta . I know you made that site to show him how to make 2 into 1 big 1 but, I was just thinking maby he could have Thrush or some other comany special make a 48" Glasspack, just a thought really.

i used to make glasspacks matt. a lot of them, sold a lot to thrush muf. that is a glass pack. i was try to use somethng we all ready had. you can buy the pipe. glass, baffles and ends and make one 5 ft long if you wont . didnt wont to get into that.

thanks guys i was just bouncing a idea off yous too see if anybody else had come up with a low cost quieter sidepipe.
kid down the steet put on 2 new paks on his pickup truck about 3 months ago and now has had to take them off as too loud .got them for 20 bucks paint still on them i was just going to get 2 more and put them together with a seam weld and go from there. i can alway use a piece of 3 1/2 pipe to extend them as long as i want and lower the tone.

Thanks for clearing that up, I didn't realize that, maby you can answer a mental question ( A question I always wondered yet, never asked ), On the glasspacks with the floating perforated inner tube, what purpose does that serve?

A glasspack is around 20 bucks new, you paid more than you could buy a new 1 from summit racing at 17.95+ s&h.

i dont know but i will find out, we welded all of ours in solid. its something to do with moving the sound and air around for a dif. sound or more power .

I have been watching this post, by the way I liked the Mikey muffler..

Anyway, way back when...... I built a 27 "T" short p-up. I was in high school in northern Michigan. OUT IN THE BOONEY PINES. Closest town was 600 people. Back to story. Back then the roadsters in the magazines seemed to all have the side pipes up high. So I made the pipes from some old Ford torque tubes. I took a piece of 2 1/4 exhaust tubing and with a band saw made a zillion cuts about 1 1/2" across the tube about 2 inches apart down each tube. Staggered on both sides of the tube. Then I took a ball pein hammer and smacked each cut, to drive one side of the cut part into the tube about 3/8". Welded a ring on each end 2 1/4" ID and t-tube ID/OD. Wrapped this with that NEW Fiberglass body matte and some furnace tape. Slid the assembly into the t-tubes, retained with a 1/4" bolt from backside. VIOLA!! instant mufflers (kinda). Any ways it quieted down that mighty 364 nailhead. I still have discolored skin above the inner elbows from touching those things while reaching outside the car while driving. DANG! that smarts!!

that looks like a rocket

Since yall are talking exhaust. What does tying the two exhaust pipes together do?
May sound like a dumb question but I have heard many different things. Figured yall could explain a little better. Figured I could catch yall in between drawings.

the guy wonted a 48" muf. and they are hard to find so i told him i would show him how to take 2-24 " and make 1- 48".

check it out

I'm sorry what I mean is like the cop cars, the duals are tied together in the middle.Like a H. I heard it had something to do with stabilizing pressure between the pipes. So you actually have two straight pipes connected in the middle.
