New pipe mon...

[450 DUDE]

Got this done today.
After cutting the resonator off I gained clearance and noise.
It was pretty loud @ high rpm
Getting this done the way I wanted, was not as easy as I thought.
The first place I went to I ended up asking them to take it off the rack.
I lucked out with choice #2 ( thanks: muffler man. Stockton ca)
Anyway.. Sounds great and mounted solid.
Added was; 12'' glasspack and flange for easy removal if needed.
100.00$ well spent , and its nice to hear the tires again.

Careful.

A couple days after I had a new tail pipe made I lost the oil galley plug out of the front of my motor...

Uh oh...I think the shaman just poked a doll somewhere...

Ya I think there is a TSB to check that after new tail pipe install.

Dan,

I ASSUME that it was a complete coincidence!!?? Or is there mechanical reflexology at work here?

Here is an idea for low restricition noise control: Dynatech and Car Chemistry.

I used the car chemistry after the cat. It made a noticeable improvement in annoying drone on the freeway.

I think it was coincidence.




I haven't touched a single bit of the exhaust since, just to be safe.....:whoops:

 

[landtank]

that still horrifies me today. How far did you end up driving the truck home like that?

 

[cruiserdan]

35 miles. It pumped out 3 quarts in that distance.

The way the bottom of the truck looks, it just seems to beg to resonate exhaust tones on that metal. Has anyone applied some sort of sound deadener to the underside of the truck to help with cabin noise? I would think that some of that combined with some on the interior would help out quite a bit. Any opinions?

Ya , kinda a bad scene under there.
Ive installed Dynamat on the rear quarters and have a Foam mat on the floor.
It helps.

I still need to install a heat sheild, to cover my a$$.
