Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I got the 40 series & its not as loud as I thought it was going to be. I don't know if it's because I've got a long bed & the fact I'm running them all the way out back & didn't center dump them. I just know they sound better than the Flo-Pro's the PO had installed on the truck. And I don't get any drone in the cab either. In fact I can't really hear them until I step out of the cab & walk back towards the rear of the truck. I'll try to get a sound/video clip tomorrow.

couldn't help it. I'm a sucker for truck bling. Installed core support filler plates.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Haven't worked on it today. The rolling chassis is completed (rebuilt rears, new suspension, all grade 8 stainless hardware, stainless brake lines, stainless fuel lines, everything powder coated including rally wheels.
Engine block, crank, rods/pistons and heads all in the machine shop. Just waiting to get them back to start building the engine back... I discovered a '72 Super C20 today. Was sold to a recycling center for scrap metal. Complete truck. Quite a bit of rust, but otherwise pretty straight. Camper Special with dual tanks. I'm hoping to buy the door panels out of it - they're in nice condition with wood grain inserts. If it isn't bought soon, I guess it will be crushed. It's been parked adjacent to the crusher awaiting a possible buyer for several months. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Here is a video clip. The clip may not be very loud, it's iPhone video quality if you know what I mean. I know it's not super loud but sure sounds a heck of a lot better than what the PO had on there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8QrWmi9pps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxRy_sAmJYo Just because...long story...I'm running 2.25 inch pipes thru the same series Flowmaster mufflers (also all the way out the back) on the current build, RAT. I don't have a sound clip, but the 350 in RAT is way less cammed up. It makes far less noise. To me, that's unfortunate. I did use an extremely heavy dose of sound deadener in RAT. So, we'll see what happens to the sound inside the cab with the 2.25" pipes after the motor work.
