They are not the greatest quality, but will give you guys an idea of what my car sounds like. The sound files are a bit distorted but I will try to get some better ones in the future.

Ben

Edit:

Here they are thanks to deadbird:

how big are they?

 

Whats the size? I've got plenty of room, just IM me if interested. AIM = ShpookinMyWay

I can set you up an FTP if needed, too.

 

One is 681 KB and the other is 229 KB.

They are wav files. If someone can tell me if I can get a program to compress them I will if needed.

Ben

 

Ben, I couldn't compress the files (easily) but, they aren't too awful large so I didn't bother doing the work to change them to mp3.
I have to say tho, I am in love with that idle lope. Sounds damm good

For everyone else wanting to share in the sound, here ya go....

These will be hosted by me for a few (3-4) weeks so, save it while you can

Makes me want to get a sound clip of mine now. Anyone want to donate me a recording device for a bit ? j/k

 

Sounds good.

 

Huh, the sound clips are of my car. That is why I posted this thread. It is hooker long tubes with dual 2.5" pipes into h pipe and then bullet mufflers and turn downs aimed outward a bit.

LOL, wrong post. I'll edit what I said.

 

LOL, sounds good huh? Thats all you had to say? I thought you were a flowmaster guy. You didnt even tell me it didnt sound as good as the flows. j/k

Ben

 

It sounds LOUD. How is it in person and what about clearance??

 

It is loud, but not what I would consider unbarable. I was actually worried it would be a lot louder. I ran it with open headers, and that was when it worried me because you can see straight through the muffler so I was worried it wouldnt quiet it at all. I havent really driven more than a half mile from my house, so I havent really got a chance to judge the interior noise. I was more in an excited I'm driving my car for the first time in over a year mood than worrying about how lound it was. All I can say is that it is a lot quieter that I thought it could be so thats good.

Ben

 

Oh, and about ground clearance, I made it out of my driveway without any problem. If I made it out of my driveway and back in for that matter I am pretty sure I will not have any problem with any speed bumps or anything. My lowest point is the clamps sticking down which will be removed when I get it welded and even they have about 4 inches of clearance.

Ben

 

Have you heard it with some1 else driving yet?? It might seem louder then.

 

No, I havent, but I dont really care if it is loud on the outside. I just dont want it to be to lound on the inside.

Ben

 

Is there any way you can take that 3rd pic again, another person and I are doing a set up like yours and we would like to see it. The light is blocking the view.

 

Maybe I can this weekend. The camera is crappy and sometimes doesnt want to take pictures unless there is light directly shining in the lense for some reason. I dont know how good I can get one. What are you wanting to see exactly?

Ben

 

yeah, sounds great man.

I am doing the same thing, but with hedman LT's. I had wondered about clearance also. should have more with the bullits than using flows.

You are using the hedman s-extensions also right?

 

Yes those are the headman s extensions. I painted one of them with aluminum high temp paint because I had to modify it for the oxygen sensor and to aim the right way because the drivers side hooker LT doesnt aim exactly straight back and I wanted the welds painted. It turns out though that it is not aluminized or anything. I wasnt sure before, but the one has some slight rust color on it so if I get a chance I may take a piece of sandpaper to it real quick and paint it too since it is the only piece of my exhaust that is going to rust easily. Everything else is aluminized or jet hot coated or painted.

Ben

 

Sounds real good. That cam makes a VERY NICE SOUNDING IDLE! I love it.

Brian

 

basically we need to see where you mounted the pipe (hangers) and also where did u get the Bullet mufflers from.

 

OK, I actually drilled holes in the driveshaft tunnel real near the back for the hangers. I had to take out the bottoms of the back seats and pull the carpet back to get the bolts through them. I got the mufflers at www.summitracing.com They are made by dynomax.

Ben

 

Cam specs plz that idle sounds bad ***.

 

It is the comp cams XE 268. The duration is 224 230 @.050 and .477 and .480 lift w/ 1.5 ratio rockers. It is on a 110 LSA

Ben

 

Ya its time 4 me to get a new cam and lifters, thx buddy.

 

Sounds really good man! How is it when you jump on it are you able to hear yourself think or is overbearing?

 

Are you asking how loud it is at when I am on it? It is pretty loud, but I dont mind. When driving it is still quiet enough I can talk to my passenger. I was afraid it would be worse with these mufflers.

Ben

 

Sounds good man

 

What are you being a smartass! Yes, I wanted to know how it was inside(interior) when you EXCELLERATED!!!!!!!!!! Is that better!

 

Hey Momar,

What induction system do you have?

Sounds great.

You can hear them horses galloping anxiously.

 

It is still a computer controlled quadrajet. I have changed to a 350 knock sensor and have upgraded the secondary rods/hanger. I plan on grinding on the tab that stops it from opening past 650 CFM eventually. The heads are ported 416's. The motor its self is nothing real special, but not to bad. I have an LT1 that I plan on building up in the future, but I dont even plan on messing with that for a while, especially since I just got this going.

Ben

 

No, I wasnt being a smartass, I just couldnt understand your run on sentence, lack of punctuation, or whatever the case was. See, now I am being a smartass lol.

Anyway, it is loud, I wont deny that, but I dont think it is overbearing inside. It was definately a whole lot quieter than it was with the open headers. It doesnt hurt my ears to ride in it now like it did. I am sure it would to loud for some peoples taste, but I like it. I havent driven it except around my neighborhood and nearby a couple of times so I am not really totaly used to how loud it is, but it does seem to be quiet enough that I can talk to my passenger without yelling at the top of my lungs.

Ben

 

Hey man, that sounds really bad-***. I got a question about that cam- you said it is 110 LSA. Could I get a similar sound (at idle) with a cam with 112 LSA? What would be the difference? Thanks. -89IRO

 

Well, for myself, this is the first time I have swaped cams or motors(other than a 2.5 in a 85 s10) for that matter. I dont have a lot of experience with different cams anyway. From what I have read, a 112 will smooth it out a bit, and make it more computer friendly. I just dont know how much of a difference there really is.
