Re: Straight pipes? 8BA in my 41 PU. Isky Max1, Offy heads & intake. Holley 390 and Red's with 12" JONES glass packs. No tail pipes yet.:D

Re: Straight pipes? I have two lengths of 1 1/2 conduit which I welded a flange on to connect to the header with a slight bend for alignment. Neatly done and been on there for close to 10 years. Not loud, passes inspection.
I had a couple of footlong brass pipes on the ends. That really rings nice. Flatheads are pretty quiet anyway, I like to hear all the efforts of my labor. |

On our flatheads we run reds headers with dual exhaust and the short Brockman Mellow Tones, no H or X pipe needed. |
Re: Straight pipes? My 1947 Ford with a 59AB flathead running a mild cam, I have Red's Headers with 2 inch pipe and small Walker glass packs. Then to give it a nice sound I had larger pipe put on right after the rear axle as exhaust tips. It gives the flathead a nice rumble sound.

Re: Straight pipes? 1 Attachment(s)
As requested, the attached PDF shows cast iron black pipe exhaust front to rear on a 38 standard. Crossover first plumbed for a 265 in 1960. Then replumbed for the original 221 two years ago. Same pipe, unions & elbows for over 50 years. Don't forget the never-seez if you go this route or disassembly will be tough. 8^)

Re: Straight pipes? I recently ordered some Reds long tube headers for my 53 f100. I plan to do straight pipes with no mufflers...pretty excited.

Re: Straight pipes? In the 60's I remember my father ran straight pipes in his V8 Pilot with 1 inch tailpipes - us kids thought that was great! In the 70's I didn't find any noticeable sound difference in moving glass pack mufflers from under the cab of my F1 to the rear ... so I rammed a pipe down the middle of each with 2 inch pipes and to my teenage ears that sounded better. Later on I attached a Y block to the same exhaust system, but that made a heck of a racket and got me into trouble - interesting how noisy overheads are in comparison. The best sound I achieved was glass pack mufflers and 4 foot lengths of 3 1/2 inch diameter tailpipe - a very nice bass rumble. For 10 years after that I listened to the chuff chuff of a stock single pipe system and now am back to twin pipes and mufflers. Haven't got the sound right yet though - I guess tastes in music change over time ...

Re: Straight pipes? None of my flaties have ever had mufflers. No sweeter sound than a flathead Ford V8.

Re: Straight pipes? I just finished up the exhaust on my '40. It's 2" tube, without mufflers with Fenton headers up front. The engine is a 284 with a Winfield SU-1A cam. The car may sound a little loud on the outside, but it's actually quiet inside since the exhaust runs all the way to the tailpan:

Re: Straight pipes? Great videos and nice vehicles/flatheads! It's interesting the differences in small changes (in the exhaust) make on the sounds. Would be nice to hear some rev'ed up.

MUST HEAR engine sound Pre War Nitro burning flathead 1932 AV8 Ford |
Re: Straight pipes? Yeah, I've seen that one before. Sounds like a fun car to rocket around in. My tinnitus wouldn't be too happy, i'd have to wear some earplugs, but I'd drive that in a heartbeat! :]'

Re: Straight pipes? I've read a lot of comments and opinions on exhaust systems, mufflers etc, but no one mentioned Brockman mufflers. Are they still being manufactured?
|
Re: Straight pipes? Update.
The exhaust guy said" I did one if these the other day with no mufflers a 2" exhaust made no sound" I assured him there would a difference taking the 22" smithys out with my 1 3/4" system. Yup sur' Nuff' .. Ohh is on the loud side . Barks and clatters .. Whenever I start it I look around thinking wtf is that ! I go through roundabouts and usually don't change down, just pull away under load sounds like a big ol' diesel truck haha ... :D |

Keep the smitties, straight pipes, glass packs etc. I prefer a simple gutted muffler on a flat head. |

Re: Straight pipes? Just bought a pair of Brockmans for my '46. Nice tone.
|
Re: Straight pipes? I have Reds headers & Brockman glasspacks on my '40. With a stock '50 merc in it, had a great mellow sound. Just installed a built '50 merc with 400 jr, 2 carbs, heads & blocked heat risers. lots of exhaust noise, probably double. More motor= more noise.

Re: Straight pipes? Two cars:
Stock flathead in a 39 Ford coupe, stock iron manifolds, 24" Cherry Bombs, Very quiet at idle, low mellow tone when driving. Highly modified flathead in a 32 Tudor, center dump headers, 24" Cherry Bombs, Very loud at idle, loud when driving. Weird to me |
Re: Straight pipes? Original muffler gutted and 2" from manifold back on a Model A and no-one wanted to follow me! Sounded good to me inside! 30" steelpac softened it enough.
