I heard the original Smithy's were really heavy and packed with metal shavings.
Huth Mufflers in the Valley, which is still around today since the 50s did my pipes and first set of mufflers and remembers they used to fill them with gravel from the back alley for guys who really wanted them to rap.
Glad you can still have fun nowadays and somebody cares and makes them right.
I gotta give credit to the rod enthusiasts at the H.A.M.B. forum - so much great info there...
I first heard about Brockman's steelpacks there.
Check it out.
