Pypes OR/H and Pypes Muffler deletes vids!
- Thread starter Radman
- Start date
I took off work early to have my Magnaflows taken off so now I have O/R X-pipe with muffler deletes.
It's quiet at idle, but helacious under throttle! Christ it sounds like I am going twice as fast as I am. LOL! IT's WAY louder under throttle than his video leads you to believe.
*After driving it tonight* - Holy Hell! This thing is rediculously loud. Cops have been pacing me and checking my car out. It is quiet during cruise, not much louder than my magnaflows. But even a nudge of the gas from a stop, like at the light, this thing sounds like "GENTLEMEN START YOUR ENGINES!" I started my car in the parking lot and a car 4 spaces over starting having it's alarm go off.
I found that it is considerably quieter when I start off in 2nd gear instead of first, and shift around 2,500rpms.
So anyone want to buy my magnaflow axle-backs? LOL!

I heard that there is a good chance I will "suck a valve" now that I have so little restriction in my exhaust. is there truth to this?
Never heard of that...
I do know that running exhaust headers or manifolds ARE necessary to prevent overheating of the exhaust valves because of the way they collect the exhaust gases.
I run my own muffler delete system. All stock under the car and I had the mufflers removed. In their place, I had built a pipe to attach to the stock mounting and used a 15-18" X 4" chrome tip. It sets about where the original tip did in alignment with the bumper. This cost me $80.00 as a trial. The stock mufflers will go right back on if needed. I like it and here in Panama City I have had no problems. Other locations I have driven it have been no problems either. Of course, I don't try drag racing the local law either.
I've been fighting that freakin' passenger tip all morning trying to get it to line up. Is shortening the only solution? I love my Pypes mids but this f'in right tailpipe is driving me crazy!
Thanks for the reassurance. Hopefully it doesn't hurt the car, because I still get a hard-on everytime I get on the gas.
I've never heard of "sucking a valve". If you run no maifold, or an open manifold or shorty header (maybe), you can BURN a valve, because after every exhaust gas pulse there is a slight suction for a split second, and it sucks cold air onto the hot exhaust valve and can damage it. But as long as you have a foot or two of pipe, that won't happen. So you are perfectly fine.
I've got stock manifolds on there now, My shorties are sitting in a box........anyone want to buy them? Other than that I have catless X-pipe, stock over axle, and custom muffler deletes after that.
Here's my link to my exhaust setup. This vid is taken in car and features a startup, and only a light throttle tap.
