Boom Tubes

It does have some weight to it. I don't think it weighs alot more than an exhaust system that goes all the way to the bumper. I wanted something different and wanted both sides, loud and quiet.

It's back in now. There's a few things left to do before I let it down and drive. I do think it has a good sound right now but I will find out when I drive it.

I've always been a fan of straight pipes and have found ways to make them 'quieter' but need to fab one that 'looks' like the system has mufflers. So far with a straight on my diesel, it's passed inspection every time for the past 20 years and with no evidence of it having a muffler! Must be something with the turbo setup.....?

 

[drhill]

I will say that going thru the mufflers the car is not bad but when the cutouts are open it it LOUD. The tips act like a megaphone and magnifies the sound. It does sound really cool but it is loud. It's not too low and hasn't hit anything yet. I measured 4 1/2 inches off the ground.

I am impressed with your work! Nice looking system.

Guy around here has a Chevy powered Merc with dual SS fire extinghers as flame throwers. Was at a car show, little 4 bangers started their ****, Jeff pulled out, tached it to 4k, and lit em off, quiet the rest of the night!!

I haven't been able to load a video. It tells me the file is too large. I dumbed it down and it still doesn't load. I'm still trying to figure it out.

As i understand, you cant load a video direct, not enough server space. A video has to be loaded to you tube, and referenced here.

Cutouts open

 

[drhill]

The mufflers are Dynomax 17676.

Cutout closed.

Sorry I deleted the first one.

Seems pretty quiet even with the cut outs open. I bet you’re getting some chambered sound muffling with the multiple paths the exhaust can take with the CO open.

 

[drhill]

A drive this morning. The driver door window is down with the cutouts closed.

 

[drhill]

The drive back with the cutouts open. It is louder than the video sounds.

 

[Fran Blacker]

Both sound good to me.

 

[Gsmopar]

I think this tips you made are acting like a chambered muffler. Both sound good. I’m sure it would be a lot of work, but I’d like to hear it straight piped with just those tips.

Sounds good

Does any one remember putting a spark plug in the tail pipe to shoot flames. Think it is still out lawed. When you get them on let us here them. LOL.

Yes, two of my Uncles did this in the late sixties with 1950's hotrods.

 

[JDmac72chrgr]

@BDF6, its only illegal if you get caught, kind of like speeding. Tell cop it is to ensure complete fuel burn so you have lower CO & CO2, its a GREEN thing.

Car sounds and looks great. Love the Boom Tubes.

Unfortunately I just removed my BOOM TUBES that were originally for a Winston Cup style car (3.5" oval tubing, single exit, heavy). The exhaust was actually very quiet on the inside, but at least 128 - 130 dB outside the car (passenger, single exit). Above 3,500 RPM it was like being at the Daytona 500, but still somehow very quiet INSIDE the car. Really a great overall exhaust system.
