I finally broke down today and put some mufflers on my car. I had some Hooker AeroChamber mufflers in my shed and I have heard that they sound pretty good, and they ranked pretty good on the loudness and HP scale. So I figured what the hell. I brought them to the muffler shop and they just welded them into my turndowns that I currently have for $25. They arent nearly as loud as my straight pipes were ,but still they are pretty loud, and now it has tone instead of just loudness. I think Ill hav eto get an extra set of pipes so I can run straight pipes when I want, or maybe some cutouts. The only thing i dont like about it is the ground clearance, or lack therof. Ill go back tommorrow and see if they can pull it up some. Im uploading some clips right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxAlFS5Bwno http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gO8seEGO1w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW3AzOj7yPQ
Finally! haha They do look a bit low and back a bit from where they should sit, might be just me though. If I look under my car, my x-pipe hangs down a bit but my mufflers are tucked-up and can't see them. What did they use to hang them up? did they weld-up a factory-style hanger on them?
I havent gotten a chance to look at them but the factory hangers were on them when I brought them to the place, so Im assuming that they used them. Added clips
sounds good Eric.............you are not alone....one of the turn downs on mine is a little too low as well.................
Sounds beast, i noticed ur tach goes to 8k, is the reading off or did u adjust to compensate for the different guage face?
Your car does sound rather smooth and stable at 6000rpm, are you running an o/r H-pipe? I dunno if its because of my x-pipe, but I've only had my car at 6000rpm a couple of times and it sounds absolutely insane up there, I'm almost afraid to rev it so high lol. Your car sounds great!
Yea, its off. I accidentally got the 4,6 Gauges. It wasnt really at 6K. My tach is off. But it was pretty close. And yea, I have a BBK O/R H-Pipe.
lol i was gonna say damn u tach that thing up high for stock. power dies off at about 5200-5400 with stock heads.
haha i cant even get mine up that high. 4000 and its got its tongue hanging out. Starting to think something might not be working the way it should lol.
