Thrush Muffler..Never been happier!

[tpham32]

I was in the search of a new muffler when I found a brand new thrush welded muffler on craiglist for $20. I heard thrush was similar to flowmasters w/o the high price tag so I decided to give it a shot. I haven't seen many 80's with the thrush exhaust on here or youtube so I will provide the 80 community with the follow up video tomorrow.

For those in search of a new muffler, IMO, thrush welded has a big bang for your buck..

I'm glad I could help!

Sorry, my mistake, Thrush is owned by Dynomax but the sound is comparable to the Flowmaster 40.


Sorry, my day has been really busy today, videos and photos will be up tomorrow!

list the model too please.

 

[tpham32]

Sorry for the lack of quality, pictures were taken from my android. The videos will be posted shortly after, enjoy! I had rattled can the muffler with engine enamel but it still couldn't resist the heat.

Pros:
- less bulky weight
- more clearance
- better sound
- cheap as

Cons:
- It makes me wanna rev my engine more = wasting gas

That sounds REALLY good.

Thanks bud!

 

[Trapper50cal]

I can see your mileage going down too.

 

[tpham32]

Why would that be?

 

[93yotasr5]

wow that does really good. i may change my final descision from a long magnaflow to the thrush!!!

 

[tpham32]

hah yeah?? I am very content with my decision so far! The in-cabin noise is great, not obnoxious, not quiet but it is also muffled a bit with the sound of the mud tires.

 

[Trapper50cal]

Why would that be?

The desire to stay on the skinny pedal to hear it....
