I Just LOVE "DAY2" parts--thrush parts are my favorite...I have Hush Thrush also...I have been collecting these type of mufflers for a while now
P:S- the guy I got the "Dot" rods used to Work in tonawanda...he had boxes FULL of goodies...

I remember those Thrush mufflers! I worked at an Auto Parts store when I was sixteen and I can remember so vividly taping those Thrush boxes back up EVERYDAY because customers loved to open them up just to look at the mufflers. One day I encounter an old man that actually has the muffler up to his mouth blowing into it and saying "So these are the mufflers that wake me up in the middle of the night that those damn kids are putting on their cars!" To which my co-worker buddy replies: "Yes sir, we like those mufflers."

It's been SO long since these muffler's were in Stores for sale , I always liked how they Looked ...If They were to make these Round mufflers with the same color's and Logo , They would sell like HOTCAKES !! They did revive "hushthrush", But its just a "dynomax-superturbo" in disguise - They need to do a remake on these old ones -Im SICK of flowmasters!!! they are SO played out .. Every one has em and all cars sound the same....

I have old Thrush turbos, the longer ones that I call "Hemi" turbos, on my '55 and they still sound great. Flowmasters just don't do it for me.

I installed a set of Hollywood Deeptones on my 68 Nova. I really like the sound. The ads for them appeared in Hot Rod Magazines in the early 80's from what I have seen. I don't know if they were around in the 70's. I would imagine they are probably about the same thing as the old thrush mufflers. They came in tubes and ovals.

Are you talking about these?? If you are then YEA they are LOUD!!! But they sound cool

I actually really like the sound of Flowmasters. I love hearing that DEEP sound that a big cubic inch motor thumping through a set of larger diameter Flowmasters makes. Anyway, back to these glasspacks......I've never ran them, but I was always told to avoid the ones that have the internal louvers protruding into the exhaust stream. They flow terrible. When I think back to the early Eighties, there was a muffler called the Sonic Turbo that was very popular and that's what I always used. I'm sure many people here remember them.
