Besides Thrush, what are some muffler ideas?

Not mufflers but how about side pipes?

Re: Day 2 mufflers
Side pipes only look good on a very short list of cars. Popular choices were Corvair Turbo mufflers, hemi mufflers, Cadillac mufflers, Walker Continentals, and even straight pipes with NO mufflers on many cars. Basically, it seems like any muffler with 2.500 inlet/outlet was a viable choice and that particular size pipe was considered large for many years!

Funny you said Walker Continentals. Last night I saw a set of blue ones on Ebay and the seller has a brief history listed about them. It made me consider those..lol

Cherry bombs have a nice gutsy tone and the current ones look very similar to vintage ones.

Re: Day 2 mufflers
Those look cool, but I can't shake the Poser image I associate with glass packs, even the sound at WOT just isn't my thing.
Have you asked the guys in your area who are over 60? Seems trends were regional. The Corvair Turbo was popular around Willow Grove and the suburbs of Philly.
