hatchsub Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hey anyone put a thrush muffler like this one on a suby? Im thinking about one for my EA81 sedan. Im not looking to make it super loud...just an nice low tone and reduced backpressure a little. It will still be running stock exhaust otherwise. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NOS-Thrush-Glass-Pack-Muffler-1of-3-Wood-pecker-Rat-Rod_W0QQitemZ4614101828QQcategoryZ34203QQssPageNameZWD6VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had friends put them on V8s and 4-Cyl, and they are loud and raspy. If you want a good low tone, look for a Turbo II muffler. Those pretty good on 4-Cyl cars.

Numbchux Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I had one on my blue wagon (until it fell off.....don't use muffler clamps on a glasspack), and I've got 2 on my black one (previous owner). They're great, very nice sound, and not too much, especially if you've still got a cat. they sound alot better than the cheap cherry bomb glass packs! I don't think that's quite the right size. the one I bought for my blue wagon was 2" ID and fit perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticBlinkerFluid Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 If you do keep your cat it shouldn't be too loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 i have a thrush glasspack on with my cat and i have a low rumble.it is louder,but for ************s sake,its a 4 cylinder.....trust me until you have run your car without an exhaust at all....nothing is loud after that......(i do not suggest this,it is really bad for your motor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONAN Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have one on my 93 Loyale wgn right now. It was for a 96 silverado. Sounds good to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 a short clip of me last summer at the crawl 4 the cure. That's stock exhaust with a thrush glasspack instead of the muffler http://www.mnchopshop.org/images/offroad/jul04_craw4cure/numbchux_attitute_alley.AVI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sound of that clip its not super loud..it just has a nice low rumble. I dont mind it being a bit louder than stock..i mean i have a IROC camaro with a 3 inch flowmaster exhaust and that thing is loud..but i love it. I just dont want it to sound like a damn ricer. is the one in the picture that i started this thread with similar to the one that you have? What one should fit nicely on my car? Im going to need to get a shop to bend a piece of exhaust for me because the muffler(including the piece of pipe that bends up to it) is really hurting. I have a low rumble right now because of the ping pong sized rust hole in the exhaust. What diameter tub should i look at. the stock exhaust on these things isnt 2 inches is it? Thanks for any info.

Numbchux Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 the one I've got looks more like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dynomax-24222-Muffler-Thrush-Header-Glasspack-Red_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33636QQitemZ8038923218QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW I just measured the OD of the pipe I wanted to attach it to: 2" and then did a search on ebay for a glasspack, found the cheapest one with a 2" inlet, and bought it.

mattyg41383 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I used to have a Thrush glasspack on my dragger, no cat. It sounded nice... I think my brother put it on his race wagon. I since moved on to a Dynomax Race Bullet muffler, bolted right onto a 2.5" downpipe, pretty loud but legal at the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well guys i ended up having to get a new muffler sooner than i thought. My old one was about ready to fall off so i shopped around and found a nice Dynomax high flow muffler for a good price. 52 for the muffler, 60 for the shop to put it in. Its quiet but the power is nice. Thanks for the advise guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
