Custom "Resonators"....CooooooooooLL

On the 67 Cuda, I installed a set of new Thrush "Welded Series" Chambered mufflers with a full 2.25" dual set-up, exiting with 2" outlets (273...didn't really need more than that.......just a bit over stock).

The Thrush sounded "OK", BUT they just weren't quite right.....a little raw sounding, a little hollow......SOoooo, I got some parts from Summit, and started fabricating.

I started with a set of shorty 8" 'Cherry Bomb' glasspacks.....2" ID in and out....Took an adaptor for 2" to 2.5" and chopped it down to about 3/4" on the big end so's to make a nice welding flange...... INSIDE the big end, I placed a 3/4" 2.5 pipe nipple that I cut, so that the new fabricated adaptor will fit NICELY inside the new "PYPES" Stainless Steel 2.5" Exhaust Tips......They're like the A-Body tips, but a little fatter (made for B's).......I wanted to tone down the mufflers a bit (a little softer "rumble"), and then add a little more throaty outlet.

The new resonator assembly will get welded up, finish painted, and then welded to the 2" tails. I have to raise the tails a little first though...hangin' a little low. I did this on my Dart Sport and it toned down the Flowmasters REALLY nice............Can't wait to hear 'em!! :toothy10:
