Fjd Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Now that is a blast from the past. Like Cherry Bombs. I remember wrenching in the 70s with those too and also had several pairs of Thrush that tended to burn through fairly quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The first thing we'd do is get them hot and squirt water up the tail pipe. It would break up the fiberglass and make them louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine soaked his in gasoline and put it out in the middle of the driveway and threw matches at it. Sure burned something out. One of my favorite exhausts was just running pipe all the way back over the axel similar to the stock system, but just excluding the muffler altogether. It was a 1970 Mustang with a 351 Cleveland motor and it sure sounded sweet accelerating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The first thing we'd do is get them hot and squirt water up the tail pipe. It would break up the fiberglass and make them louder. Not me. I'd put the biggest mufflers I could stuff under the car, 65 Fastback mustang. Then sat in a parking lot until a cop parked across the street from me. Pulled out and pretty much nailed it. Didn't spin the tires, but got his attention. Got pulled over and he was going to write me for excessive noise exhaust. I told him "Go ahead, I got the quietest mufflers they had. They guaranteed I would not get any tickets for excessive exhaust noise." I dared him to write me and he wouldn't do it. Like my cars quiet enough to run open throttle and not draw attention in town. Not to say I did not disconnect the headers from time to time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) All done. The top cap overhangs 1' from the base, which should protect the drivers from rain. Not sure what they would sound like with 6" of water on top of them, but it would surely drown out the noise.

mustang guy Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks beeker. I will never build one, but it would be pretty cool. If there were still such things as drive ins, several of them properly placed would really shake things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdross1 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 We just planted our vegetable garden pointed out to the wife where that sub could go. She says what part of the word NO do you not understand! ha ha. Our neighbors should be used to the ground shaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
