<VV> Mufflers/duals

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

Hello,
As some have mentioned....   A PG with plain duals sounds ratty.   At 
least to 
me.   On both of my earlies I have duals with a crossover "H" pipe.  The 
110 PG has small turbo style mufflers.   Has a very mellow sound, 
really sounds about stock.   It accompanied a cam change, so can not 
say for sure, but no loss in bottom end and it runs very strong.   The 
other is 
a standard 102 and has 
stock 140 
U-Pipes and mufflers, with a crossover tube added.   I like the sound on 
it alot.   Not overwhelming, but no drone.     If 
anyone has has heard 
Del Pattens coupe with Flowmasters.... It has loud and rough, puts the 425 
V8 in my 66 to shame...

I'm sure this has been talked about before but I want to try to set up some good sounding dual mufflers without going to headers yet,(yes I'm cheap). I have other issues to resolve before I get carried away. I want to make it an almost daily driver. Back in the 70's I had  65cpe with dual Cherry bombs (they're back on the market by the way), but there they were real loud. I tried Hush Thrushes but they were almost too quiet.

I know I am at a disadvantage with the PG but that's what I gotta live with for now. I'll probably get dual pipes from Clark's and try mufflers and tips (if there is room) from local sources.
