Sounds good Dave.

 

cool that you got more flow now, but do you know what squished the pipe last time? would suck to do it again.

 

it was the pipe going over the rear that i think the guy did it when i 1st had it done ..it wont do it again theres no pipe going over the rearend

 

HUH??? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE ENGINE!!!!

 

what he said I can hear youuuuuu..EH

 

no problem,buddy anytime!good seeing you again.car sounds great,and you can still hear the stereo.

 

Just a word of caution about your dumps.You might want to insulate your brake lines that run on top of the rear end.When I drove mine hard during warm weather,the exhaust caused my lines to heat up and when the fluid expanded,my brakes were dragging.I had converted over to discs in the front and had installed a check valve in the rear line just past the master cylinder to keep the residual pressure in the wheel cylinders so I could balance the system.This kept the pressure in the line and caused the wheel cylinders to expand when the lines got hot from the exhaust.At first I didn't believe that this could happen,but a friend shot the rear with an infra-red temp.gauge and sure enough,you could probably have cooked an egg on it.I bought some insulating sleeve from a local company that makes hydraulic hoses and slid that over the brake lines.That stopped the problem,but I eventually ran new exhaust over the rear and out,I was paranoid about carbon monoxide and wanted to be safe.

 

Why did the idle come up with the new exhaust? I didn't think that made a difference.

 

sounds good.

 

Congrats.

 

If you choke somebody they can't breath,on large displacment motors it's essentially the same thing when you do not have large enough exhaust.

 

Dont ever drive over a field that has dirt spots in it. You will kick up a ton of dust and piss off alot of clean car owners.

 

yeah i thought about that …..but I fig they should get there last then and they will get over it …if not Awww well

The price they pay for my performance

 

Cool.

Sounds like your number three cylinder is a litte fat.
