I have an NOS pair of the Competition 692 Turbo's I'll be using on my Nova. Same as the Corvair Turbos and sound just like you described. I can't wait to hear these.

Will keep an eye out for a pair for you Rich

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe that I recall hearing that Dynomax bought the company that made these, and renamed it the "Super Turbo", which is still available.

You are right, though. Sonic Turbo was *the* muffler to have in the 1980s. Then flowmaster came along in the late 80s-early 90s, and everyone decided they liked that sound (personally, I'm not a flowmaster fan).

The super turbos has round dimples on the end caps. These don't have them.

I remember having Hush Thrush's on my 65 El Camino in the 70's.
