Ok, I admit it....I splurged just a bit lol

 

[The DoggFather]

And!!! like I said why would you do that lol.

Because I'm married with children lol

Jokes on the misses, now my car is twice as fast lol

All part of the plan lol All jokes aside, only reason i got my beast now is because the doctors thought I wouldn't see this February, so I got it in January.

I wanted to leave something with sentimental value for the kids. My old man was planning to do the same with me but sadly never got the chance to do it.

 

[Mr Invisible]

If you get a mullet it will make your V8 go heaps faster, true story.

That is easy mate, a mullet wig. Last time i saw a pic you were rocking a beard, this is not acceptable and must go, a 70's porn mustache is required and than you will be good to go.

Trans Am is poking fun at Transexuals in America... they need to change the name immediately because it's not PC.

NonBinaryGenderless AM would be a far better name.

Ok rev heads, got exhaust questions for you guys....

The system I have now is...

HSV headers
No cats
3 inch twin x-force exhaust
Centre body muffler
2 rear mufflers

Now I will install 100 cell cats but I was told to remove the centre muffler and install a H pipe instead, to make it sound more of an old school "beat" sound.

I have no idea and can't find what a H pipe is.

Some say that will sound good by itself, some say use the H pipe and add j pipes at the rear.

Can anyone help a noob out? Lol

 

[Mr Invisible]

At the moment you'll probably have a "X" style pipe, with a centre muffler joining the two, before splitting back to a "Y" shape to head out dual exhausts at the rear.

An H pipe effectively makes both pipes parallel to each other.

This video explains it better than the digaram I was trying to draw up.

 

[Mr Invisible]

FWIW soundwise you'll hear a difference too:
Straight Pipes - generally more lumpy and uneven sounding as banks will fire differently.
H Pipe - will be a little smoother (depending which pipe it exists), and less lumpy than the straights. Can tend to get the odd pop/crackle. More "classic muscle car" sound.
X Pipe - will be much smoother and generally quiet at lower revs, but will "bark" ferociously and tend to pop and crackle when you back off more. More "high end V8" sound.

Soundwise I'd go the X pipe (room permitting).

I just want it lumpy, grumpy angry as fuck so when you hear it you will think the world is ending lol

PS will removing the centre muffler make it sound more old school? Or do I have to remove all mufflers? (Centre and 2 rears)

 

[Boxer]

Just run straight pipes from the headers that will sound angry as fuck.
Only problem is defect and fines.

 

[Bob dog]

You don't want it to drone everything because it will be a defect, get the balance right between excess noise and power, use straight through mufflers and resonators.
On the auction front Brocks race cars should get a million each, one of them would look good in the shed.

Dave Kindig's got a solution for that.
