I use the dual cherry bombs on my 34's with 1 3/4 pipes. Very mellow sounds. I put one on my 35 Pickup, no duals. Nice sound too. Had stock exhausts on the 34 Phaeton and couldn't hear it. My 2 cents.
1934 Ford's since 1972

I have had 1-3/4" pipes, stock log manifolds with stock type chambered mufflers on my '36 since 1955'. Prior to the change in '55 I had Douglas steel packs, got tired of the noise. The engine in my Ford is a very well built 59AB, Weber cam, .60 overbore and modified stock heads.. The original dual exhaust system was an off the shelf J.C. Whittney mail order system. I had a custom muffler shop build the existing system using chambered mufflers that would fit within the chassis.. There is a slight rumble to the pipes on idle, just enough to hear the cam over-lap.. I used my '36 for daily transportation for many years, have driven the car over 94k, I like stealth in lieu of 'look at me'.

It takes an artist with a pipe bender to fabricate the left side head pipe. It requires threading it through so the clutch pedal is not affected. The only advantage to dual exhaust, in my opinion, is the mellow sound of two glass pack mufflers.

Many people equate noise to power, ie: straight pipes, gutted mufflers, etc.. An open exhaust, headers, are noisy and do not start to do the job they are intended to do until the engine gets up to 3,000 rpm's or above.
