Reply To: 1933 1247 How many mufflers?

I’m up to speed on mufflers for my early Pierce,but am confused about

’30’s exhaust systems.Weren’t they tuned by length to remove sound and

back pressure?Did the mufflers get made without”guts””.Shouldn’t we be

very concerned about replacing our exhaust system with as close a

replacement as we can find?Where do we go to inform ourselves about

what is right on the car.Is there any outfit that will do an exact

replica.Will I lose performance if I just go to a muffler shop and

go for the longest 2 or 3 mufflers that fit(that probably have

backpressure)?
