I was just gonna write that. Thrush became my favorite even tho nothing really compares to the sweet sound of "glass packs."

LOL toooo funny ,I remember having thrush mufflers on my 66 Galaxy ,they did sound deeper than the cherry bombs.....I remember you could see either the bombs or the thrush hanging out the bottom of cars because the rear end was lifted so high. AHHH the good ole days in Detroit cruising Woodward.

C6 sound like grocery getters compared to that deep throaty Thrush sound. Why doesn't anyone make mufflers like those? Sure, there are some "loud" mufflers out there but they don't have that same sound and I don't remember any drone with thos old mufflers either.

Cherry Bombs were, and maybe still, made very cheaply. They were prone to rusting out, and the "glass" inside burnt out or compacted because the sound built as you added the miles onto them. As I recall some of the guys even poured gas into them and burned them out BEFORE they installed them. Anyone remember that?
