Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
Just finnished putting a Red's Headers-Brockman's Mellowtone[steel pack] muffler on my 46 Merc.convert.The headers fit in with no problems,the exaust pipes required a bit of "tweeking' with a tourch.The mufflers sound great ,just loud enough to make a "powered with a FLATHEAD"statement.I ordered the mufflers from fellow barner VanPelt and recieved them In 2 days[wish Mac's would be as quick]I replaced a cobbeled together exaust that was a little to loud for my taste.Phil

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
That combo sounds good doesn't it? I agree with: "just loud enough to make a powered with a FLATHEAD"statement. Is this the same car you took to Maine?

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
That is an unbeatable combination in my book!

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
I have that combo on my 1939 pickup and what a sweet sound it produces! I get compliments from people that don't even know what a flathead ford engine is.

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
The pipe size is 13/4".Yes it is the car I drove in Maine.The kit came with Smitthys,I used one of them on my 41 S/W.So I decided to try the Brockmans. I have Smithys on my 36 and they aree just OK.The brockmans have a crisper sound than the smithys.Phil

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
I have heard 1 3/4" pipes are more than adequate for flow and that the smaller pipe size allows for a better flathead sound. Anyone have opinions about pipe size? Thanks, jack

Had that combo on my 42 for 9 years. Every one tells me how great they sound.

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
I have Red's headers and Portman steel packs with 2inch pipe. I think it sounds good, what do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj3GSMmFq3k

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
Thanks Seth. It would be great if anyone with Red's header and Brockman steel pack post a youtube. I haven't heard the Brockman's.

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
There is a couple of youtube videos with brockman mellowtones. One is titled "53 Ford starting" another is a 40 ford coupe, the name of the clip escapes me at the moment. The 53 really raps the pipes.

Re: Red's headers,Brockman "mellowtones"
That's one nice Flathead. Sounds great.. The chrome looks great, didn't know you could chrome the radiator water pipes. I am thinking of making my 53 F100 a little louder at some point.
Nice House, to! Jeff
