well i finished up my exhaust the other day...

i used racing beat road race headers, custom 2x2" to 1x3", edelbrock tru-flo muffler 3in 3out, exits in front of the passenger side rear tire.

all i have to say is DAMN this is loud. at idle it sounds like a V8 and after 4k it sounds like a ducati with exhaust mods. i have to baby it around town so not to kill ears.

i still have some problems with my set-up though and i was hoping to get some advice.

basically the setup is unsupported except for a hanger right at the tip. the muffler touches the floor pan and at idle it bangs on the floor. i need some type of high temp insulation/padding top put on top of it so i can firmly affix it to the underbody. anyone know of a material for this??

any body got any good advice. ill try to get pictures tomorrow. id like to get sound but i dont know how.

pics?

 

Boy cant you read?



Anyways, Justin, I think any good auto shop should have some exhaust heat wrap, thats about the only material i could think that would withstand the abuse you are asking it to. Good luck, i bet that **** sounds awsome.

 

Bend the hanger.

 

Asbestos. I hear its pretty resistant to heat.

Or try a whole bunch of steel wool

 

You could try going to home depot or lowes and ask what material they use for insulation around furnaces or something, they should have some type of thick insuation for those purposes.

 

what you could do is to cut the floor out in the offending area and build: weld-in another section of floor.

Better yet: Use oval tubing to give you more clearance

I always wondered what the side exit exhaust would sound like...more on the dual side exit though. But damn...either way it's sweet. Can you get any sounds up???

 

Rectorseal welding blanket might work.
Exhaust heat wrap is best.

 

don't bolt it in, it can fall off when you hit the second naws button.

 

That muffler is junk.. My bud had one on for maybe 2 weeks and burned it out and it started to rattle.

 

Thats awsome, wasnt abestos the stuff they removed from all the schools and stuff because it was supposedly toxic

 

My set up was bout the same.

Except right at the flange (where the precat meets the rest of the pipe) I put on an all steel resonator and pipe.
I used a flat tip. kinda like the ones used on the new Camaro's

When I boosted it sounded like a jet taking off. whooooooooooosh. But the odor started getting to me (only a precat) and where I commute to work there are the barrier walls that rebound the sound.

Deafing to say the least. when i body kit my fc I'll have it done again but like the Saleen Mustangs

 

Use another hanger to keep it away from the floor. All some kind of wrap is going to to is make the BANG BANG BANG change to BOOM BOOM BOOM.

 

I wonder how she'd be with a cat in there and a smaller/less volume muffler.

 

....whats wrong with asbestos

 

it causes cancer

 

Specifically: The micro-fine fibers embedd themselves in the cilia of the lungs and cause ASBESTOSIS.

 

thats why you are not supposed to use an air gun to blow out your brake stuff when you change them, cuase most (no so more these days) brake pads contain asbestosis, and it gets in the air you breath it ect.... ya learn somethign new everyday

 

U could try using exhaust wrap

 

Damn, that sounds cool. i thought about something like this, but I can't weld or bend pipe, so it might be out of my league

 

danm that sounds awsome... how about some pics and diagrams for us that dont have such good fabrication skills and experince. that sounds soo awsome.. maybe some sound files would be cool too.

who cares if it causes cancer. The **** is gunna be under your car not in the cockpit. No **** you wont put it in your mouth while installing. Play it safe.

 

I want some pics!

 

pics sound .. might do also..
