Jaymz Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Finally got everything back together...since I already had the entire exahust system laying on the garage floor I decided to try something new with the setup. I knew it would be a challenge getting it out the drivers side... but after plenty of measuring and bends we got it. No rev videos yet sorry, Have a few more issues to figure out...have no idea what it sounds like WOT btw.. this is a cold start AND I know its dirty as hell... been sitting in the garage for 2 months what ya'll think ? http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff295/j...nt=MOV01449.flv Edited January 4, 2009 by D.J (see edit history) Quote

70chevy03ss Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) so what did you do? no cats no mufflers? sounds good He crossed it underneath before the tires. I like it sounds good and its really different. Can you get more pics of it?? Edited January 4, 2009 by sick03ssbad70velle (see edit history) Quote
1of@kyne Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 I like how you got it to exit on both sides of the truck. I have a question though. Does the exhaust pipe that exits on the driver's side go anywhere near the gas tank? If it does, aren't you worried that the exhaust pipe will heat up the gas tank? I too wanted to exit my exhaust on both sides of my truck, but I had that fear of the exhaust pipe heating up my gas tank. Quote
Jaymz Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Posted January 4, 2009 so what did you do? no cats no mufflers? sounds good ya, I've always had deleted cats.. I removed my Dumps and Flowmaster 40s He crossed it underneath before the tires. I like it sounds good and its really different. Can you get more pics of it?? I'll get more as soon as I can get it cleaned up a bit and not running so lean, maybe some rev videos aswell I like how you got it to exit on both sides of the truck. I have a question though. Does the exhaust pipe that exits on the driver's side go anywhere near the gas tank? If it does, aren't you worried that the exhaust pipe will heat up the gas tank? I too wanted to exit my exhaust on both sides of my truck, but I had that fear of the exhaust pipe heating up my gas tank. it does run under the tank, theres about 3/4" from the pipe to the tank. We ran it diretly below the metal strap that holds up the tank to try to defer heat from the plastic cover. It's also 3" pipe.. the heat is pretty well disapated by the time it gets all the way back to the tip. We let it run/idle for almost 25 minutes.. so far so good. I'm goin to run it around the block a few times and hit it with a electronic thermometer and see what its sitting it. I've seen alot of ppl exiting both on the passenger side.. so heres something different.. Quote
SS Silv Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) I'll be honest. I think it sounds like a tractor. However, it probably sounds better in person. It's not for me. I like the more deep sounding exaust. Edited January 5, 2009 by SS Silv (see edit history) Quote
Fireman31 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 sounds good How did you route the drivers side exit? How close to the gas tank is it(since the gas tank is plastic)? Quote
Z06 DREAMING Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Sounds good! Any pics of the underside? Quote
70chevy03ss Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 sounds good How did you route the drivers side exit? How close to the gas tank is it(since the gas tank is plastic)? Hey Dan he posted that a few replies before you. Quote
BlkSSnCpt Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 wat the hell!!!!! i swear to god i was thinking about this today when i was under the truck, i kept looking at it and picturing how i would go about routing the pipes to not be so cllose to the gas tank. if i can figure out a way to route them to where i'm confortable with the distance i might try it. i like it tho it looks good i'm not liking the tips but the position looks good. not a fan of the sound either... -Rob Quote
kweber1911 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 i too was looking into this the other day...i was thinking about doing it soon, but didnt have the funds right now. Quote
Jaymz Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 I'll be honest. I think it sounds like a tractor. However, it probably sounds better in person. It's not for me. I like the more deep sounding exaust. with 3" pipes this is about as deep as it gets buddy lol and your correct-you'd have to hear it in person, it sounds 5x better. I've got a $29 camera that runs off AA batteries..as you can emagine the sound quality is very poor. Just like telephones, cameras have a hard time recording low db's I took it up to 4k a few times today, sounds awesome IMO-very aggresive. Alot better than my previous systems (accelators, flowmasters, and borlas ) Quote

Jaymz Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 Heres another short video of a very light take off... you can kind of get the idea what it sounds like under the throttle.. still having some tuning issues which won't be fixed untill next week. My buddy who has EFI left town. http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff295/j...nt=MOV01453.flv Quote
