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?
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.

Re: Straight pipes?
I think that probably makes all the difference in the world. My 38 dumps right off the cab towards cars next to me, and I don't have any sound deadening material in the truck (rough bare bones truck). The pipes are only 4' tops. Think I'll try it with 1.75 out to the back next.

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?
