flats where nice cuz for first they where built like a brick shithouse and usally had really good low speed torque (especially in the old straight 6's).
Despite all the thumbs-down, you're right. The engine needs the correct back pressure provided by the proper exhaust system for best performance without the excesssive noise of straight-through pipes. There are other videos on here of flatheads with full-length exhaust systems, and they sound really smooth and quiet for such an old engine design.

Terrible exhaust a full length set would be quieter and better for the engine.

did you just say a full length exaust would be quieter? duh but it wouldn't sound 1/100000 as cool hehe.

Flatheads are AWESOME! One of these days I'm going to build a hotrod like you would have seen one in the 50s or 60s I'm going to use an old flathead.

Yeps. Two cylinders exhale thru the carburetors... NOT! It's a Flathead man! Siamese ports for the two cylinders in the middle.

@assgod1 yeah the central two exit through a single outlet, you can still tell its a v8 not a v6 cause there are 4 spark plugs on each side :)

Congrats Ollin ! That is one nice & traditional hot rod !
The only thing i would do different is lose the zoomies and put a set of lakes headers on it.
