That turbo muffler is a similar/same design as the Dynomax Super Turbo and Thrush Turbo muffler. They're a pretty good flowing design that's only a little louder than stock. An alternative for the same money would be a Thrush or Summit chambered muffler (Flowmaster clone).

I picked up a pair of them for the '57 about 5 years ago. Unless they've changed since then, only the pipe flanges are 3" - the tubes inside the muffler go to about 2-1/4" before the perforations start. Extremely disappointing. Sounded good (really, really nice, IMO), but were too restrictive.

They only had one like that at the time, so it must have been the 2-1/2" one.

Hmmm, maybe I'll order up a pair of the other ones. . .
