at night

*nbpro* · 12-06-2010, 06:12 PM

so is this build dead? are you gonna do anything else to the truck besides vaccuum the sand out of it?

3r!c84 · 12-06-2010, 07:21 PM

got all the sand out already. build is not dead. nothing ever ends. you gotta wait and see what else is coming......

*nbpro* · 12-06-2010, 07:56 PM

well good to see all the sand is out

bbbc10 · 12-07-2010, 10:03 PM

nice!! it is low

3r!c84 · 12-07-2010, 10:15 PM

needs to come down more in the front i feel. but the headers are holding me back from doing so

muthstryker · 12-07-2010, 10:17 PM

Get some shorty headers that way you can tuck the exhaust up as far as possible.

that ill come when i have money to do my 3inch pipe all the way back and dump after the rear tires

still trying to make it hook. spinning isnt winning at the track

*nbpro* · 12-07-2010, 10:44 PM

to big>> 3 inch pipe

dont need one 2 1/2 will do they make a transmission crossmember, so you can route your longtube headers up higher and closer.

3r!c84 · 12-07-2010, 10:59 PM

yea i can build my own cross member. ive only got 2 1/4 pipe right now

*nbpro* · 12-07-2010, 11:26 PM

Bigger ain't always better..kinda like carbs...too large a carburetor will actually make less power

Too large of exhaust will not scavenge the cylinders properly, thus sometimes leading to less performance and horsepower loss.

2-1/4" to 2-1/2" would be the largest I would go with your engine

it felt like it had alot more power when i took it out with just headers. feels choked up kinda now

*nbpro* · 12-08-2010, 12:07 AM

yes. but when the box was "working" driving like 45 mph it felt like it was missing. like wasnt a smooth rpm. and now its not like that.

*nbpro* · 12-08-2010, 12:28 AM

Header sizing and length is where your power is.

All you want the exhaust system to do is get the gases out with minumum backpressure
2.5 pipe is good for 450hp (in theory). mufflers will make a difference too. Use a mandral bent system with a straight through muffler design such as the Dyno Max Ultra flow. Mandral kits are no more money that a muffler shop kink job

3r!c84 · 12-08-2010, 12:54 AM

yea i get what you mean. it wouldnt hurt to get flow threw mufflers. and ditch my flowmast 40's

*nbpro* · 12-08-2010, 12:57 AM

Believe me dude, if I had the money, my $h*t would be rocking. Just don't have the funds. Hell man, I'm 52. I've built a lot of engines, cars, and trucks, in my time. Yeah, get you some better mufflers man.

*nbpro* · 12-08-2010, 01:03 AM

Mandrel bent exhaust systems are the ultimate step in performance. Mandrel bent pipes don't lose any pipe diameter in bends, which means more flow and more overall performance. Having a full mandrel bent system also makes your vehicle's powerband more tuneable.

3r!c84 · 12-08-2010, 01:07 AM

yea ill think about that. just buy some mufflers. and i know we have mandrel pipe bender at school for the airplanes

*nbpro* · 12-08-2010, 05:07 AM

good

*nbpro* · 12-09-2010, 06:09 PM

Hey dude, just what are the specs on your 400? Heads, cam, crank, etc.
