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
It was really nice to see a video where somebody put some effort into making sure the sound quality goes through on the video. Good job. I like the glass packs
Had glasspacks on my 69 f250, loved them so much, quiet while idling or cruising but when you got on it wakes up the dead. I actually got well known as the kid with the loud old truck cause of the exhaust lol.
After 45 years of fiddling with small block V8 Chevys, I have found that the cherry bombs sound best when used with 2 1/2 inch head pipe, 2 inch tail pipe and 18 inch long 3 inch diameter "can" tips. No X or H pipe. Idle rumble, acceleration bark and relatively little drone at cruise speed. The "turbo" muffler design was original equipment on Corvair Turbo cars in the 60s. Another old method of quieting an old hot rod was using a pair of 500 CI Cadillac mufflers installed backwards.
Great video really enjoyed watching when the glass packing settles in the turbo muffler it will become a heck of a lot louder including the glass pack as well. I've had people buy glasspack turbo mufflers in their quiet they don't like them but when they break in they will snap and crackle and pop and after tone just like a well broken in classic Glass pack will,
There ain't nothing that sounds like a pair of burnt out glass packs and that being said there isn't a car or truck running a V8 today that has the body rattling ground shaking loppy sound of the true muscle motors from the late 50's to the early 70's there were some MONSTERS made and many that did not get the credit they deserve and have since been long forgotten unless your a car geek like myself that loves to no anything about them old heavy irons a good example would be a 1958 Plymouth Fury with a 350 Golden Commando Big Block dual 4 barrel's from the factory witch were of the cross ram design this monster made 305 HP and I'm sure that was numbers being dumbed down
I put a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler on every vehicle I own. Love the deeper tone. I always have the pipe(s) sticking out 3" past the rear bumper. Takes care of the drone sound, inside of the cab. IMHO.
GREAT VIDEO!! I'm working on a car, not a square body, but this was very helpful. I loved the chambered muffler. But then you mentioned a droning. But then someone mentioned a fix for that. Made my decision harder. But I think I'll go with a turbo. A bit quieter and I have a small block so no need in pretending with more noise.....lol. Thanks again. This was exactly what I needed.
Nice comparison! I really like the sound of glass packs, but for daily driving and highway use, I had the Summit turbo mufflers on all my trucks. Thanks!
I have an 86 Chevy Blazer with a 77 400sb, quadrajet carb and hooker long tube 2 1/2 inch headers. Right now I'm running her wide open. I'm definitely considering the glass pack. You have the perfect truck to use as a reference. Thank you for the video!
Back in the 80s we ran glass packs in our trucks in high school. So I put some on my 2002 silverado HD man it was loud at full throttle. It was a work truck so I didn't mind. Now I have a 2012 silverado 6.2 and I put magnaflows. Kinda have a drone but if you go fast enough it goes away 80mph.
Thanks for compairing those three.I have short glasspacks under the cab and turbo mufflers mounted at the end of the bed behind the bumper.Its quiet with that combo.Gets roudy with just the short glasspacks.Its easy to remove the turbo mufflers in the rear when you want it louder.
Had a ,69 GMC 1 ton ( 12 ft. flat deck ) ,327 ci ,out of a ,60 s Camaro ,turbos ending , just , passed the cab. The drone was too much,shoulda extended out the sides or farther back . Could still slightly spin the 18 in. duals. , 18 mpg, Canadian ,with a back wind . What a truck.
Fantastic video! 06/30/20 Beautiful scenery in a world that was a mess! Truly an accurate representation of the sounds of these three mufflers. Reading through the great comments it seems you helped people decide the direction for their own exhaust. Thanks for your efforts!
Thanks for doing this test , without a doubt the glass packs sounded the best , well the first ones made noise but you said it had a drone, so it clearly was easy to tell the Glass Packs sounded the best .. Thank you
Just finish installing the Summit version of the purple hornies except there SS for 20 bucks more and cant get over headers and header mufflers or hornies could be that quite.
i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Mario Jagger I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Glass packs just belong on square bodies. The turbos seem to sound a little better after a few months use but glass packs just have that good old school sound.
I have a 5.3 vortec Tahoe and have my exhaust cut from the cats back with dual M80 Cherry Bombs. I love the sound of it its definitely a head turner. Plus side is when im coasting or not on the gas its not loud at all just a deep gurgle. But if i floor it you will hear it from several blocks away
Without a doubt the throaty glass pack! I’m going to pinch your audio, fit a boombox to my Pride Celebrity XL8 converted Rolls Royce mobility scooter and scare the sheeet out of my Parisian neighbours. Thank you for the tests and the loan of your audio - it should clear the way nicely when I’m shopping inside my local Monoprix supermarket.
So I've got to say ,! I put my glass pac on reverse, on my 04 5.3 silverado and man let me tell you that is the most Awesome low growl I have had on any of my 7 trucks of all .. you will love it trust me it is worth the time and effort to check it out .. I would send you an email of it but at the moment its getting a BTR stage 3 cam and other sorts of goodies to go with that growl !! Thank you for your diligence and hard work on the video ! Ones like you really help others in hard decisions..
Glass packs always sound best on decel compared to a traditional muffler. Longer glass packs are better then the silly stubby ones. Thrush makes them up to 32inch with a built in turn down. Would be perfect for a truck like this.
I personally like the glass pack, I've got a set of shortys that I had on my k10 and I think I'm going to put back on it, I have some knock off Flowmaster super 10s but I just don't like them. Same with the drone and they are just not that loud!
@@SquarebodyStuff I have a set of early 1990's era Thunderbolt mufflers. They sound like a Flowmaster that hit puberty! Love them and nothing else I've ever heard has the sound of my 87 C10
This is a great video. Well done and I can appreciate how long it took to do everything to make this, when you might have not done it otherwise if you weren’t making the video.
I dont like the short glasspacks, too loud in my opinion and sound sloppy. But those 18 in. are my favorite. Wont give you a headache and that cackle on deceleration is like Mozart to me lol. Snap, Crackle, and Pop!
Decades ago, when I owned an old C10 like that... I put headers on it. And my muffler choice was a pair of Thrush glass packs. A short 12"-16" pipe between the header and the muffler. Then a 12", 45 degree turn down. I loved that throatie (sp) sound. And the cackle when slowing down.😎
I hav an 2005 Tahoe 4x4 5.3. I run a Elec exhaust cut out with a Thrust Hush and 1 side and open exhaust on the other. 3” cutout. 1 way quiet for road driving, and put a button and wake the dead……Love it and only hav $250 in the whole setup. Done it my self……
Awesome video. I'm here cause I'm gonna put exhaust on an old Ford and I think I'm going glass packs now. I had Flowmasters on an old Chevy I used to drive and I had the same thing, the drone was really annoying but the truck sounded great.
Had glasspacks on my old 83 f100 and it was so loud, I would set off car alarms with it. Had 40 series flows on my 84 305 Camaro loved the tone, but nothing sounds as good as a glasspack to me.
I had a Studebaker Hawk with a V8, and dual glass packs. The sound was nice, but I had a cross over pipe put in, and it made a mellower sound, plus I picked up some low end torque. I liked it.
@@SquarebodyStuff I was surprised at the increase in torque it gave. The sound was also quite pleasing. Best wishes on your project. I had the Hawk back in the '70's, and now that I'm retired, I bought a '59 Ford Fairlane 500. It needs some work, but fortunately not a lot.
good and helpful video - great comparison ! I recently installed a FlowMaster Super 44 on my Xj 4.0 and I love this muffler for the deep - raw - raucous tone !
I gotta agree with you on your truck. the glaspacs sound better and at idle with that cam youre got a nice lope. Butt 6-8months from now thes gonna make alot more noise! CHEERS
Thanks for making this video! It’s very helpful to have an example to go off of. I’m trying to decide which mufflers you put on my ‘80 squarebody (have to keep the neighbours happy)😆
Might try dynomatting the floor, firewall, and behind the seat. My K5 was the worst until the mat. Really helps keep the heat out too. Sounds less like I'm driving inside of a 5g bucket....
I've never ran turbo mufflers. I've ran glasspacks and flowmasters. Each flowmaster and glasspack is different. To help with drone, full tail pipes out the back and some sort of crossover pipe helps. But, turbo mufflers I assume would get louder over time. Since they use some sort of packing material around the perf tubes in the main chamber of the muffler. Turbo mufflers have other little small chambers inside as well. That's why its so quiet inside. It can cancel out more frequencies like drone, etc.
Man, I really think that the glasspack is very hard to beat. It has a classic nostalgic sound without the drone. Flowmasters sound great, but if you drive it very much the drone gets very old. The Turbo style muffler really has no soul. It looks and sounds cheap. I used to work in West Plains so I've spent some time in "The Twain". Nice place!
If you want it throaty, put mufflers near rear; for snappy, bark, put them up front with long pipes. This is especially true with glass packs.

@@robertyota Dynomax Ultra flo or the Super turbos
No offense but if you don't have a V8 forget about it you can't make a Cessna into a F-22 raptor fighter jet LOL
This right here is a couple that KNOWS how to make a proper exhaust video! Great work!
Thanks
Glass packs make me smile 😃
Glass packs all the way ! 😁
Definitely the glass packs sound great 👍
Good vid.
In my opinion, Thrush welded mufflers are very underrated.
Well done. I think I'd go the glass packs also.
Great choice on the GLASS PACKS...!!! Will be putting same product on my '79 Chevy C10.
This was the confirmation I needed. I'm putting a glasspack on my ram tomorrow.

Glass packs continually get louder... By 30,000 miles they're horrible.
@@hotrodray6802 So? Whip out the air chisel and replace them. Takes about the same time as a thorough lube, oil & filter and it's a refreshing change.
