I have a 1955 hdtp coupe, 259, 2 bbl, automatic. It needs an exhaust system and I'd love to have the nostalgic glass pack sound. Any body have some info on the Smithy's mufflers? I understand they were quite the item in the old days and they are still available. thanks, Ernie in Louisville

Inlet is fine, but most Studebaker tailpipes are 1 7/8 inch so you'll need a exhaust bushing.

My next Studebaker is in the future, but now getting my hair messed up in a Sebring ragtop!
Almost as fun as a Studebaker!

I use Flowmaster 40 series mufflers. Mellow rumble. Sounds like more power than you have.
