- My 1974 Midget is slowly going back together after an extensive restoration this summer. One remaining decision to be made is the choice of exhaust system and muffler. I know there was a recent discu

- reason I am considering the JC Whitney muffler is that it is quieter than the 22" Cherry Bomb that is now on the car. The wife says it is "TOO LOUD". So, I think that the 2" JC Whitney muffler that

- No actual Spridget experience here but... I'd stay with the 1-3/4" on something as small as a 1275. You need a -little- backpressure on a street car. Better torque through the rev range. Zero backpre

- I am happy with my 1.75" and my 19"muffler. It IS a trifle louder than I would have preferred, but really not bad. I think that the 2"x22" would be significantly louder. Normal conversations and lis

- read the section on exhaust pipe diameters in Vizard and be guided accordingly. Big difference in tuning for low/mid-range torque rather than top end "mass flow" power. On a road car, it's all compr

- I recently switched to the JC Whitney double glass pack. It's quieter than the cherry bomb and I can now hear the radio over the exhaust but it's not too quiet. I know, some guys enjoy listening to t

- I'm running a 1-3/4" system with the 19" muffler on my 1500. Between the muffler and the small leak in the y-pipe up front my Midget souns like a Harley. Love the sound! Loud, but I can still hear my

- As Frank pointed out, even the beautiful purr of an A-Series engine can get monotonous after a few hours on the road. I suppose the racing groups have rules against radios in the cars ;-)
