Muffler idea!

So I wanted a new (cheap) exhaust for my 1988 Toyota Camry winterbeater.

On ebay I found a tractor muffler with the right size pipe diameter and it'd fit under the car ok so I bought it. What I got looks an awful lot like an old smithys glasspack.

It cost me about $15, it's made in USA by Stanley Muffler Co. Inc. (this is all I could get on the place) , part # FO-14 (2" inlet) and is pretty compact. Might not be a bad idea for those whose wives have put their rodding projects on a strict budget, and modern 'hot dog' shaped glasspacks don't look right on the project.

See pics...

Since I don't care for the flatulence provided by a japanese four banger, I'll probably use it as a resonator since it needs new pipes too- the exhaust pipe is nonexistant from a little behind the resonators on it (look like glasspacks...) to the 'muffler' which appears to have a wildlife nest hanging out the bottom.

Cool find, my father in law did the opposite. He used a cherry bomb on his old dozer, it looks pretty cool sticking up like a smoke stack

How'd it sound?

Yes I know the louvers kick up turbulence, reducing effective flow and thus power. For $25 shipped, you can't beat it though, especially on a lower-power application such as a flathead or other engine that's (usually) not a high compression high revving powerplant. Besides, if it's visible, it has rat rod appeal if you don't want the cops harping on you for having straightpipes.

Cherry Bomb probably pretty loud
