67RModel Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Does anybody know what these kind of mufflers are called? Or what brand? Are they still available anywhere? Did they offer some kind of advantage over a "regular" muffler?

BOBWhite Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago I've seen those and have always wondered who made them, they kinda look like DPFs. My guess is that naturally aspirated Detroits used em since they didn't like too much back pressure.

Brocky Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 1 hour ago, tjc transport said: i always referred to them/heard them called pancake mufflers Yes!! But they had a brand name that I cannot remember. My 1959 Diamond T 921C, 220 Cummins, had one on it and another in the bunk when I bought it. Sold the spare to Mark McCallough in Missouri to put on his Diamond T 910 also a 220.
