Flathead mufflers

Guys and Gals,
I am looking into dual exhaust for my 53. I would like to hear a flathead with different mufflers, flowmaster, thrush etc. On YouTube I have heard Y blocks with different mufflers. The Flowmaster site has a nice sound section, but they are new motors, probably what they sell the most mufflers for.
Thanks for any help,
Jeff

i don't know how to posr a sound byte , but i'm running 21/4 inch thrush glasspacks through duals and headers and it do sound sweet and gotz a nice rumble . hades i got tuner kids trying to race me all the time in bessie as she sounds like a race car so to speak . and it is so hard to describe the sound too as i have never heard anything that sounds like a flathead . by the way go to the farm and home store and buy a couple of those " canister " style tractor mufflers you can get ultra cheap . they're glasspacks and of a straight through design , and a fraction of the price of others here ...............

Thanks John!

I should mention those were taken with no tailpipes (and no door weatherstripping, you can here the doors rattling)
