289 Cobra Mufflers
Greetings,
I'm looking for mufflers for a stock 289 Cobra. I'm looking for the original style oval glasspack type muffler, with 2" inlet and outlet. No more than 3-1/2" thick, please. Please let me know if you have a source. I want to stay away from the turbo style and from the Flowmaster/SpinTech style. I like that 60's glasspack sound, if you know what I mean . . . . Thanks for your help, as always! Alan in L.A. |
Yeah it's hard to beat the sound of the 60's!
It's werthie goal! Ernie |
Alan,
http://www.dynomax.com/documents/thrushglass.pdf Dynomax make a quality product for very little money. Most exhaust shops can get you a pair with ease. You won't be disappointed with them. |
8 years later . . . still looking for mufflers . . . any suggestions?
thanks. |
Hi
Try talking to Gerry Hawkridge at Hawk Cars in England. He builds 289 cobra replicas which are very authentic. Hawk Cars - contact information |
I believe Dave Wagner has some mufflers for the 289 cars that I saw at his place late last year. His son Mike visit's this site occasionally.

8 years to find glasspacks?
Seamless Glass Pack Header Mufflers - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop cut off the header flange and you have it |
|
Check with the Kirkhams ... they would probably be able to make some suggestions.
|
Have you looked in the JEGS catalog?

David Wagner,(248) 767-0548, mufflers complete with pipes. However, these are more for the restoration crowd as the exhaust is pretty small in cross section.
|
great information, thanks Rick!

1964 style glasspacks
These were on CSX 2252 and sounded great:
Thrush 24200 - Walker Glasspack Mufflers - Overview - SummitRacing.com They have a perforated center tube, instead of louvered, for much better flow. I also installed them on my AC MKIV and it's one of the best performance add-ons (and sound) I've done. Good luck on any system you choose. ----------------------------------------------------- |

Hushpower
While probably thought of more as a "cruiser" muffler, I'll throw in a recommendation for Hushpower.
I went from side pipes to undercar exhaust with 2.25" dia pipes and 12" long Hushpowers. These units are marketed as resonators to use in conjunction with the longer (18", I think) Hushpowers. However, used alone, the 12" units have the perfect sound for a Cobra, with the benefits of a compact and insulated case. I had mine black ceramic coated, and they simply disappear underneath the car. I have had multiple comments that the exhaust sounds "just like 1965." Can't beat that! |
