;D ;D ;D I have the thrush turbo's on mine and they have been on about 12 years I like the sound not to loud just right they work on the bronco real well. And I had them on my F350 and they didnt last to well so it's just a gamble as to wich is best on the bronco when these fail I will replace with the same good luck with your choice. :p :p :p Bill 8) ::) :p

I have used Thrush on other applications. In general they are cheap-a$$ in terms of construction and sound like one of those big-a$$ ricer mufflers ... meaning cheap sounding resonance in a narrow RPM range. I would not go there.

Thanks man! I think I might try some of these. $14 bucks each can't be beat!

I run the $14 Summit Turbos and they sound great. No regrets.

I've been through 2 pairs of thrush turbos which are basically the same as summits just mount them good or they will crack on the ends you can't beat the price and sound is good but I will go with something thats built better next time one of the fully welded models because they are made of a little thicker metal and hopefully wont crack off on me
