What Do You Think I Will Run In the 1/8th?

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Barely speeding is no fun.

True, but it is a good option when trying to pull off a distance run without any problems from the fuzz.

Very true, havin the cut outs closed also helps due to they can normaly hear you a mile away romping on it.

Ever since I went to the LT's with 3" piping all the way to the muffler I found that my times are better with the cutout closed on the short runs like to 60 and the 1/8.

whats bad..........I thought I was going nuts last night. feels like the truck is faster with the cutout closed.

I've tried with the cutout closed, open and even tried opening it as I do the run and cutout closed is best with my current setup. But nothing sounds better than WOT with the cutout open

LOL, damn right.

friggin' coworker asked me today if my muffler fell off of my "forty thousand dollar toy" - I said no.....but the old one fell on my head, does that count for anything?

Did you tell your co worker to crawl under it and find the leak?

Lol. It's always fun for me to roll into work in a truck that idles louder than the buses parked outside .

 

[Hemiguy0302]

just my opinion but removing that stuff is dumb bc your not gonna be on the street about to race somebody and be like hold on i have to remove these parts to get fast lol

100% agreed, run what you have.

no, but I need to get back under there with an impact and zap the clamps on more. its leaking.

I tried 4 different sets of clamps when I had my exhaust installed to my lt headers. Finally just decided to have them weld them up.

 

[truckin151]

The only thing I have clamped on my exhaust right now is where the header collector meets the cats... I did not want to weld that as I will be removing the headers and heads soon enough to do some upgrades so being able to remove everything to work on on a bench was a necessity. I did have the ORY clamped up to start but the thing leaked like siv even after using an impact wrench to tighten them down so we welded everything up nice and neat and its been doing great ever since

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

^^ did you use any of the black rtv like exhaust sealent for the slip on exhaust with clamps? It stays flexable so you can pull the exhaust back apart at a later date and time.

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Do they make a specific rtv for exhausts? I have never seen it at any of the stores.

 

[0212353]

I think its red...........high temp stuff? 700 degrees or something

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

I think I might have some red in my tool chest over at the garage. Going to have to check and see bc I could use it on some of the temporary welds I have on my exhaust.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

The stuff im thinking of is black I will look into in later on and send yall the name of it.

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Definitly let us know bc my exhaust is only partially welded bc I plan on pulling it off again. So if there is something I can put on the small leaks at the joints that would help until I give it the finish weld that would be helpful.

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

This stuff?

 

[0212353]

that should work!
