@Gary Galland. It can have a better sound if he gets those mufflers nice and hot, and shoves a water hose up inside the mufflers and gives the insides of the glass packs a nice cold drink and shatters the insides of those mufflers, after that is done, then and only then he will get that rumble you referred to. By the way, I run glass packs on every vehicle I have ever owned. Just Love that deep throaty rumble from those duals. By the way in my opinion age has nothing to do with good sound, I am 67 years young. Nuff Said.

From a custom exhaust guy. It looked good but the hangers need to be turned in line with the pipe. When you accelerate the exhaust system slides backward slightly. The hangers need to move with the pipe. Just look at the factory hangers. With the hangers turned the wrong way they will snap in half in a few months. Took me a few years to figure out why I was fixing so many broken hangers. Lol

I took it in for dual exhaust to a reputable dealer Midas,wanted bottles but they wouldn't sell them to me,said they were illegal!!! Me being very naive at 18 went with regular stock mufflers,and wished I would have just left that dealer and went somewhere else, but I didn't know better . And needed the whole exhaust system made and installed. I think it cost me around $600 I really can't recall . It wasn't cheap. Anyway,In my years I've just went Chevy, gm Olds, GMC ...then got a ford and a Dodge they all have something that is good and bad, I still have one spark plug to replace on my GMC full size van ,but it's been year's and I probably never will get it done,unless I take a grinder to the cab 😜✌️

The Tri-Five Chevy you have is a 1956. The easy way to tell the '55 from the '56 is to look at the left rear quarter panel - if you don't see a door to the gas cap, it's a 1956. How does one put gas in the car you ask? Stand behind the left rear tail light assembly and look just above the tail light bulb, you'll see a small piece of metal just above the red lens. That piece of metal is actually a knob, turn it to the right and the whole assembly drops down to reveal the gas cap. So cool! Of course it's easy to tell a '57 from a '56 or a '55 because the '57 has those distinctive, pointy tail fins - equally cool!😃

Here in Australia they are called Hot Dogs, To get the harsh note out we would put another one in just before the end. They were a small one less than 12 inchs long. Kept the sound without the harshness,

I had a 55 Ford p/u w/390 and glass packs, I of course loved the sound, an Az Highway Patrol Officer liked it so much he asked me if I would pull over so he could chat with me, fine fella that guy. 🤣

That's old school cherry bombs and straight pipe. I'm never a fan of taking a clissic like a 56 Caddy and turning it into a 4x4 but to each their own. As always Paul and crew did a fantastic job.

Then I bet your glad they didn't do it to a caddy then

Taking a classic beauty of a 56 Bel Air convert and making a ‘funny car” , my name, no insult to drag fans intended, out of it just rubs me wrong. To me, it is really not good at any role right now, …looks cool, but it is just wrong…one look at the bumpers tells me that…my opinion, and I know it is not shared by all, or many.
