Does anyone have any sound clips of their engine and exhaust??

 

There's a bunch on the home page, and check out the exhaust board. Mine is in my signature.

 

I cant open yours for some reason........Its not compatible with Media Player........ Let me try again though.

 

Should be, it's a wav file.

 

I could only see the road video one. Were you holding the camera yourself??? If so you are pretty damn talented...

 

Yes, I was holding the camera, but you couldn't get the sound clip to work.

 

idle
rev

edit
both links should work now.

 

What kind of exhaust are you running?

 

takes some work to get decent ground clearance and not too cheap.

 

I get errors when I try to save or open it.

 

... if yahoo allows 1.5meg attachemts..

 

jcb999,

The idle link works, but not the rev...whatupwitdat?

Can you send it to me at brownie@theriver.com?

Thank you


By the way, the idle sounds TOUGH!

 

Hey jcb999, what type of gound clearance problems did you run into? I'm curious because I just ordered what I think is the same setup you have - Hooker Super Comp Headers (1 3/4" x 28"), Mufflex 3" Y-pipe into single 4" exhaust pipe with Spintech muffler into single 4" hideaway tailpipe. Maybe your experience can save me some grief. Also, did you opt for the Flowmaster or Spintech muffler with your system? (sounds great either way).

Thanks

BTW, my Mufflex system will be going on my '91 Firebird - I'm installing a 430HP SB Chevy 400.

 

Its really 6 sections of pipe that have various curves each that have to be at the perfect angle to give maximum clearance. The Y (actually the seventh piece), is really not the problem. ITs the head pipes and the sections that go under the crossmember.
the best thing to do is get the crossmember sections to be within about .5 inch of the crossmember and you will have about 3inches.. not much more than that though.

Its a flowmaster 4" two chamber race muffler.

thanks

Supercomps are already rusting even though they were coated..

 

I didn't realize the Y-pipe came in several pieces. I was hoping that I could clamp the kit together and have it welded up at a muffler shop. Looks like I'll be driving to the muffler shop with open headers, instead.

 

What exaust setup do you have?

 

 

hey jcb999

That car sound real tough with that exhaust, what are you running for a motor? it sounds pretty built whatever it is.. I kinda wish i would of done something like that after hearing yours, ive got a 3 inch cat-back flowmaster american thunder with hedman headers hooked up to a 406 small block chevy, havent got it all together to hear it yet though.

 

The Y pipe comes with some wide clamps that help locate it but its still a pain.

my motor
I have not had it on the dyno yet..but it really does not run like it should. It just does not pin you in the seat. but.. i think I might have overgeared it with the 4.10s.

I have just purchased two different intakes and it will be going to a dynojet soon and maybe to an engine dyno shortly after that.

Its about 10.8 to 1 with a flat top, with a lightweight rod and piston. The cam is about 238 intake-596" lift and 247 ext with 603 lift on a 109lsa.

thanks

 

My setup , mic was about 2 foot away pointing away from the car a bit. Exhaust specs in the sig not including the cat. Highest rev was 5,500 rpm
