waisting money on quieting down TD's?
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ONLY PLEASE!!!
i have pacesetter LT's into custom 2.5 xpipe with 1 chamber race flowmasters before the axle...
best pics and clip i have here..
http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/g...t=SD531107.flv
im thinking of keeping everything the same and going under the axle.. im not worried if my exhaust guy can do it.. or if it will have ground clearance, both those i know are possible...
WHAT I DO WANT TO KNOW IS!!!!!
how much quieter will it be inside the car.. i dont care how loud it is outside, the louder the better.. but i want it quieter on the inside...
thanks in advance!

i used to have 1 chambers dumped back when i had stock manifolds and cats. when i got the headers, i extended them out to the back and took the cats out and it killed the drone and made it a LOT quieter inside the car. when you get on it, it loader outside the car, but inside, its pretty tame.

I believe my combo is indentical to yours... PRC 5.3L heads, MS4 cam, FAST intake, long tubes, 3" true duals with Flowmaster single chambers going to a PT4000 converter. Anyways, run the exhaust out the back. My setup goes over the axle and out the back and is fairly tame cruising around with minimal drone. Certainly nothing like every dumped car I've ever been in. Don't go under the axle!
What's the deal with that idle? Sounds weak for that cam.

it was a cold start (low 30s) and it was idling high, if i remember it was at about 1100-1200rpms.. i was having trouble getting her started and keep it running without me helping it in cold weather.. so my tuner bumped the rpms up for when its cold untill she warms up...
after it warms up it drops back down to 950.....................
i promise it has MUCH more lope than whats in that clip!

I always laugh at these threads like this. Please help me quiet down my 1 chamber race mufflers.....funny stuff. Running them out the back will help reduce the noise inside the car, that's a no brainer because it's can't make it any louder. But I believe the dreaded drone will haunt you.

that was an option.. but im trying to lighten the car up.. and wouldnt want to add over 15-20 lbs... how much does a 2x2 section of that way?
#17
ive never really used any of that, how much you think it would help?
all im going to do IF i do it is the back where the spare goes and the opposite side.. and where the ttops go.. also would the extreme trunk kit cover all of that?

The Extreme kit can be found for about $60. I did a little more than the t-top area and it made a huge difference. I also did the doors which made another big difference. The car feels more solid and less road and exhaust noise. It's freaking heavy though. I bought several kits and can't really remember how much it takes but I would think a trunk kit will cover what you want.
