The Thrush mufflers take me back to the the deep throaty 70’s sounds. Nice.

[@lollipop84858]

Thrush sounds good

[@bryanoliver5550]

I always did enjoy the " sweet sound of my Thrush Turbo single exhaust " on my 1972 Monte Carlo , I miss it and the car to .

[@miguelsalami]

THRUSH muffs Sound much better! Adjust your idle set screws in until idle drops (It's about a minute delay) reaction then adjust them out a tad till it idles up. I use a tack & dwell meter. Not sure what size carb you have on there or what kind but you may need to rejet it with smaller jets to get your mixture right. I like edelbrock carbs for the street & reliability. The IROC hood would look better❗

It is tbi not carb.

Put a thrush on my 85 Tbird. Love it way better than flowmaster. Tried flowmaster and magnaflow on my dodge 2500 and the thrush sounds better than both. Running thrush's on all my trucks. And V8 cars.

How much more power does a muffler change make exactly? And how do mufflers make power? Are they making it or freeing it up?

[@jerryeasoniii5915]

Show off your Comet, it looks good. I vote for the Thrush mufflers. I always hear people say “old school” when talking about The Flowmaster sound. They are more of a 90’s sound to me. I think a turbo muffler sounds real “old school.”

[@RRr-qn3ue]

Flowmaster sucks they sound cheap and they rust out in weeks. Their entire exhaust systems rust out anywhere they weld at. They advertise how good they are against corrosion, lol. The pipes are good except at every weld. The welding takes away the corrosion resistance. For the money, thrush is 100 times better and sound better.

Also those turbo mufflers have glass packing kinda like glasspacks that take a few hundred miles to break in they will sound different after a few hundred miles where as a chambered muffler like the flowmaster does not have any packing and won't change in sound

Makes sense that they would break in. I guess that's the reason people say Flowmaster sounds tinny is because if the open chambers!

I've used those Thrush turbo mufflers on a small chev 350cu . Lol I put those mufflers on backwards,on purpose. OMG THE RUMBLE!! THE SOUND AS SO LOUD IT PISSED OFF THE POLICE IN Victoria B.C Canara

[@Martin750hp]

It's. Holleys sniper self adjusting system, no computer (just by it self) adjusts to atmospheric conditions great if you don't care for adjusting carberators. BUT Turbos for the win!!! much snappier sounding and you hear your Engines valves chambers popping and snapping way better and, using an a agressive camshaft (IE) one with more lift and tighter lobe seperation, will really sound more race car. Been using them back in the 80s love the Engine sound better than lame cherry bombs or flow munsters......

[@robertpolanco3467]

What deep tone throaty muffler do you recommend for a 1987 4Runner 22RE EFI. Dyno max? Cherry bomb? Thrush? Or flow master? I also bought a camshaft for it, it has a choppy aggressive sound to it. Thanks for reading

[@glenntaylor7341]

If your going for the sleeper look try the original hood,but if you might put the turbos back on the cowl hood. Also how's that sniper efi working for you, I want to try it out but not sure yet

[@ZanesGarage]

Yeah I agree. And it's really nice I liked my old Holley carb but the efi setup really woke the car up. If your car has a return fuel line and you can swap to a high pressure fuel pump easily then its a quick swap really.

[@MrVictoria69]

I have a set of Thrush welded"s on my 07' Monte Carlo SS but wouldn't mind shaking it up. Sounds decent.

Man , I had an 85 silverado that was had everything done to the motor and you could literally hear it from a 500 feet away inside a brick building and unfortunately years ago I sold it and what makes me sick is today the motor work alone would cost more than I sold it for. Picture every mint jacked up silverado you see online with 12 inches of lift on it all together and see what the price tag is and unfortunately almost 20 years ago I sold it for 7500. Now I'm looking for another one and kicking myself in the ass for not just throwing it in the garage and letting it sit.

Did you listen to some jack ass family member, tell you you should sell it? I’ve learned to never listen to anyone’s opinion except my own!! When you have something you love you should never get rid of it!!

@@zachsheffee8458 talking 20 years ago. At the time I wanted a car thst was better on gas than getting 6 - 8 mpg. Wasn't really thinking about a fade coming 20 years later where people would be willing to spend 30 to 100k on them. But no my parents didn't care what I did with it. And idk where I would have stored it for 20 years but I do wish I kept it. I mean if I was really thinking I would have bought bitcoin when I was told to at a time it was going for a few dollars a piece. That's a little more of a make you sick moment than the truck. Had a friend that told me to buy it and seeing I didn't know anything about it I said idk about that sounds like I'm throwing money away. Did the math and a few thousand would now be tens of millions , that hurts more lol

I've been trying to figure out how to get another foot of pipe or turndowns on the end of them. I would have to move stuff around to get some welded on there. Maybe in the future!

[@jasonneal]

@@ZanesGarage just slide the turndowns on into position, put a small tack weld or 2 then drop the exhaust down far enough to weld the rest of it. But if you want to get rid of the drone, then get you a dual in dual out Flowmaster or Thrush welded and put it closer to the engine. Need to get it about where you sit under the car. The muffler will change the sound earlier and then travel on out the back. Having the mufflers in the back will create that deep drone sound.
