Ya only reason I ask is if your putting in a 90* bend to split the exhaust after the axle then your gonna lose some HP but I'm sure you already know this so I'm just talking for the sake of talking now lol

 

bends will often but not always add a restriction to the exhaust;
the most common "wrinkle" bends do add restriction (and create resonation)- becasue they create a section of pipe that is not only smaller diameter, but also impedes flow becasue of the 'wrinkles'...

At the end of the day I know my exhaust will be able to outflow the needs of my engine (which is in large part due to how noisy it was) - so I'm not worried one iota.

this is what I'm using to create the "split";

ya i was more referring to if you were doing a 90* bend after the axle or not as that will add alot of restriction. using a 2 part bend starting with a 45* would allow for the proper location and reduce the restriction in air flow.

 

any bends are made with parts like these;


*proper location* is wholly dependant on where things need to be, and space constraints...

 

ya that pipe would work great, most people don't realize that the tighter the bend the more restriction but you can create the same bends with pipes like those with gradual bends that perform the same function without the restriction. should turn out and sound great when your done jon

 

You guys need to get to work! Lol

 

you should *shouting* SHUT-IT!

 

you guys think its ok to drive up to bowden this weekend with my car like this? it still drives fine, brakes are still ok just need replaced, engine runs ok it makes a whining noise under load. tranny seems fine other than when shifting

 

sounds like your car is overdue for some real TLC... and not just cleaning...

as a rule of thumb, the hardest driving on a car is commuting or city driving - -highway driving is a breeze.

 

Ya cause there is no speeding up and slowing down constantly. And it's only an hour away

 

jeeze guys (and gal)...

you can all take a breather and quit posting so much... sheesh...

 

Ya that's not gonna happen haha

 

do any of you people work anymore? I'm selling oil for this week so beat that! lol

 

im done school until september

 

lol and you still don't work???

 

im going job hunting next week. i dont know where i wanna work though. something simple but pays well

 

i work more then you lol but yet you get paid 3 times as much as i do lol

 

Lol no argument there

 

ya i wouldn't be complaining either if i did half the work but got paid more lol

 

Does not fempute.



Why not do something that will keep you busy, be outside for the summer and pay's well. I frame (not for life, but have been too long ) and there are lots of companies that look for labourers/people who are inexperienced. You'll learn a valuable skill, get paid, build some muscle and get a great farmers tan .

Concrete crew is a good summer job

 

2 words - rig work
pay is exceptional, hours are long.....that is all.

 

Not to be a dick, but I don't think that would be the right job for him haha.

Pretty sure this sale will fall through. Was looking great until she brought her whole family to see it. It's pretty much her parents calling this and I'm TOAST once they see the history. Not sure how the hell I'm supposed to sell this car for anything less than 5 bucks.

And whoops, forgot to take my CSS decals off... if you're reading this, hello!

 

lol that sucks acey. And I don't think he would survive on a rig let along being away from home
