.nostalgia sound

running a 292 in my 54 f250 with Reds headers,looking for the 50s sound.trying to decide between Smithys or cherrybombs.I can get 22" cherrybombs locally for about $30.oo. reds wants about $32.00 plus shipping,I wonder if somebody knows how much difference there is in the sounds,I am looking for a deep rumble,don/t want any snapping or popping.I will be running full length tail pipes out the back.thanks F250RED

I have Patriot Headers and Cherry Bomb mufflers on my 58. I think it sounds good. Not the tiney sound you get from cheaper mufflers. I can't say what Smithys sound like.

Did the fifties glass pacs actually rumble, they had a great sound, but don’t street rods with turbo mufflers (also Cherry bombs) have more of a rumble sound? (just askin')
