Porter Mufflers™ - Where the Sound Meets the Asphalt!
Steel pack Porter Mufflers™ are very unique, they have a deep, throaty rumble. They are hand crafted and built to last. Stainless steel mufflers are also available.
These vintage mufflers were first made popular back in the 1930's by the Porter brothers out of Los Angeles, California. When the brother's closed their shop in the late 1970's, they gave the rights to Gene Fechter of Minneapolis, MN. He continued to make the mufflers until he passed the rights to the Babler family of Mound, MN, who continues the tradition today.

'39 Ford Coupe
Hi Clark,
I got the car back from the shop on Thursday. I got huge Goosebumps as I started the coupe and hear that sound. I was instantly 18 again, in the GTX. I stepped on the gas and the sweetest sound a car nut could hear reached my ears. I call them the blue things. I am so glad I checked on Google for the Porters. I was redoing the old Ford and something was missing. It was the sound of a real hot rod. The raw, wild sound of the Porters. I've owned the car for over 30 years. I am finally getting it just like I want. The blue things were the last and finishing touch. Thanks for keeping the sweet sounds of my lost youth alive.
