taking off exhaust?

[IndyBlk5.0]

ok, i got my brackets for my mufflers and my tips off, now... how in the world do i get the exhaust tips off, i plan on dumping my flowmasters, but i want to try to sell my tips as they are not in bad shape. now how do i get those things off of there?!?!! my lord, only thing i could think of is cut the pipes and i really dont want to do that... best suggestions please!

If they were welded on, you gotta cut them. If they were put on with a u-bolt clamp, your probably still going to have to cut them.

lol great, what is the best way to cut them ?

 

[TIMMY2734]

I like a swazall. Makes nice clean cuts

I've been thinking about dumping my flows also and ditching the tail pipes. Can i just cut it right at the muffler and take the pipes out and leave it like that? I think i read some were if you dont put a turn down on then it can heat up your gas tank is this true?

go to your local auto parts store and just by some turn downs. But try to angle them to the side.

Ok will do...I have all the welding equipment. Well the car sound any diffrent with dumps? I have flow 40 series originals and mac off road h pipe with stock headers.

My friend has dumped MACs, and i cant ride in the car. Nothing but drone.

open mufflers dont heat up the gas tank but they do make gass build up under the car and sometimes it can come into the cockpit so when you angle them out u eliminate that problem

 

[TIMMY2734]

ive heard that they can heat up the rear end though. Whether or not that makes a difference , i dont know.

it will sound allotttt different.

If my rear gets hot wont that hurt it...any one else with dumps have this problem?

On my 91 gt i have fms shorty headers, mac o/f h pipe and dumped 40 series flows....yea you really get the exhaust fume smell under the car and if you have the windows open it can get kinda bad, especially with no cats, but i like that smell so it doesnt bother me. I went to autozone and bought bug turndowns and had them welded onto the ends of the muffs and angles out just a tiny bit. I dont get hardly any drone now with the o/r h pipe but i did with a high flow h pipe. It sounds good IMO helps the high RPM HP too...good luck man

when i had mine dumped they were so loud at 40mph it was drive me crazy and a 75mph also

 

[powertrax91]

you'll need to put dumps... the floor pan gets hot enough to set the carpet on fire ... i was in my friends gt that happed... not fun... thank god we Super Sized it

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
dont listen to any of that dumps wont heat your tank or set you carpet on fire or heat up your axle. They just give you muffs a $hit load of bass.

 

[IndyBlk5.0]

yeah im looking for bass, even with my stock h pipe (with h not even connected, closed up so basically just running to different pipes) and tail pipes on my 2 chambers, i could stand beside my car and feel the bass of my car going through my body... that was only after i ported my heads though, ported heads made my car sound MEAN... sound be even louder with h pipe and dumps.

If you can get your pipes disconnected from your mufflers, it's fairly easy to snake them out from the rear, you might have to jack your car up to do so, but i didn't have to.

Too bad your nowhere near me.. i need some pipes.
