i want the old thrush muffler sound...

i have a 1981 stock 350 with edelbrock intake and carb with headers,strait pipes and stock mufflers. is there any thing i can get or do to have the sound of glass packs but keep the stock muffler look? would like it to sound like my 71 chevelle did with glass packs back in the day..... ryn92120002011-06-02 20:24:43

I put a pair of KBD twin tip Targa mufflers on my '80 and I think they sound great.  Very throaty with a great rumble.  I have a short video on youtube...type in 80 corvette kbd exhaust. The audio is not the best but you get the idea.

that sounds great. but i want to keep the look can i get that sound without the 4 tips?

You might look at Flowmaster 40s but a lot of people seem to think they are very loud.

I have Walker Turbos on my 81, bought them from Mid America and are direct bolt ons no mods needed and got the 60s sound.

I went with the chambered muffler and exhaust kit from MidAmerica. Absolutely love the sound!  It makes that nice ripping noise when you are on it, and is nice and loud with a good burble at idle.  I think it sounds a lot like the old glass packs, but it is up to each ones ear.  I wanted it loud and proud and that is what I have. They sell them for both header and stock manifold set ups.  the tailpipes are just two single 2.5" pipes at the back.  Good luck.

I've got Flowmaster 40s and love em - but ya gotta like it loud - much louder than turbo mufflers.

I also have the flowmaster 40's and love them.
