Got my exhaust done!!!! Videos ready!!!!

madramper · 07-28-2007, 12:34 PM

Since my truck is pretty much stock, I went with the 1 5/8" headers. Most of you know this by now, but what a HUGE PITA it is to get the stock CRAP out of there! Since we are in the People's Republic of New Jersey, I put cats on as well. I bought a pair of Magnaflow 3" high flow cats about a year ago for the 95 so I put them to use. I also used the Dynomax Ultra Flo X muffler. My plan was to cut the tips and angle them like Dave's kit, but while mocking them up, I liked the straight cut and left it that way. I rerouted the transmission wires so I didn't have to worry about the heat. I am going to wrap the brake lines so to keep them safe too.

I was getting a little discourage at how long it was taking me, but when I started it up, it was worth it

I haven't driven it yet. I want to wrap the brake lines before I get it too hot. I did give it a couple of revs and it sounded pretty good. I'll get some video up sometime this weekend. I'll have a couple of pics up later today

madramper · 07-28-2007, 12:40 PM

Yes, I have some cleaning to do in the engine compartment!

Cowtown Pete · 07-28-2007, 01:21 PM

Them bolts are a Pain in the butt I ended up using allen head and hex head bolts, putting the Bassani's on Pulling the old headers out takes patience and brute force! Keep up the good work!

94SVT437 · 07-28-2007, 04:37 PM

chip, did you notch the frame to make the headers fit.

Is everything 3"s as well

Justin

madramper · 07-28-2007, 05:00 PM

With the 1 5/8" there was no notching required. Yes, its 3" all the way out. The 1 5/8" headers claim to have 2.5" collectors. However, they are the same collectors as the 3", but with an extended ball end. So once you cut the ball end off, it is a 3" collector.

madramper · 07-28-2007, 07:16 PM

Here are a couple more pics. I'm really liking it. The sound is awesome. I really like the straight cut tips too. Its kind of like Nascar or something

Brian Baskin · 07-28-2007, 08:55 PM

Where's the sound clips?!

BTW, here's what JJ did to my truck with Pickrel's. It's a heat wrap that Banks provides with their turbo kits. We just wrapped it around the frame where the brake lines are:

madramper · 07-29-2007, 01:53 PM

I bought a starter thermal blanket (since that is all I could find at AdvanceAuto). I cut it and wrapped the lines.and that big puffy thing... which I think is already insulated

I have to get some video clips of it when it finally stops raining!

JohnnyAC · 07-29-2007, 05:30 PM

Looks great Chip, and the sound is the icing on the cake.

Jamie V · 07-29-2007, 06:35 PM

I wan't an underneith pict. All I see is tips and the tops of the headers. LOL

94SVT437 · 07-29-2007, 07:55 PM

Chip, How did you get the tips that color. I used hi temp paint on the pipes I gave you and it melted right off. If you want to get them powder coated let me know I have a friend that does it.

Justin

94SVT437 · 07-29-2007, 07:55 PM

Oh yeah it looks killer to,

madramper · 07-29-2007, 08:00 PM

The exhaust is painted with 1500* header paint. The tips are 1200* paint.

Its kind of difficult to take a pic from underneath the truck

. Here is one from the mock up stage.

Jamie V · 07-30-2007, 05:39 PM

Well that's half the underneith. Can I get a hole shot of it complete in the mock up frame?

Nope

I finished it on the truck

Jamie V · 07-30-2007, 05:45 PM

Man.... How are you going to sell something you can't so a picture off? LOL

madramper · 07-30-2007, 05:46 PM

There are lots of pictures. Just look up

None of the hole kit. That is what you sell right? A hole kit?

madramper · 07-30-2007, 06:12 PM

Yeah yeah, I'll have pics of the whole kit soon. I got a video in between the rain drops, but I guess the camera was too close and it was pretty distorted. I'll get a better one driving so you can really hear it.

Jamie V · 07-30-2007, 06:14 PM

How about you just come over, and give me a ride!

madramper · 07-30-2007, 08:42 PM

Ok, I went over and got some video. I'm not really equiped to edit video at home, but I'll see what I can come up with. It may have to wait until tomorrow. I'll let you know how I make out!

madramper · 07-30-2007, 09:39 PM

Ok, here we go! Sorry the truck is dirty. Around here, a truck is a truck and it needs to work

Its been raining for a while too.

Please Right Click and Save AS

A quick rev

A drive-by

A downshift

Another quick rev

An inside shot so you can hear at cruise with the windows up My nice clean windshield

The bugs are crazy out here. It only stays clean for a few minutes

o'doyle · 07-30-2007, 11:33 PM

Awesome job Chip!!!!!

madramper · 07-31-2007, 07:36 AM

Thanks Kevin!

Is it the stock GTII tires that just don't smoke that much? The camera doesn't show it that well, but that was actually a decent burnout, but there wasn't much smoke. There wasn't much smoke during the weak burnout at the bash either

Harley#356 · 07-31-2007, 10:21 AM

Goodyear eagle GTII's? thats the stock tire on the HD trucks. they seem to smoke up pretty good, but they are dead quiet! was hard to hear in the cab if they were spinning at all

Brian Baskin · 07-31-2007, 01:12 PM

Looks good. Really quiet, it seems, though?

madramper · 07-31-2007, 07:48 PM

Turn your speakers up!

Its not quiet. It might not be excessively loud. You'll just have to hear it

Brian Baskin · 07-31-2007, 09:11 PM

LOL, it was my tablet. On my desktop it sounds awesome

lightningguru26 · 08-07-2007, 07:19 PM

sounds good chip!
