7$ Exhaust Tips

[radco]

I picked up a Modded exhaust system,and it was drilled w/a 2" hole saw.. Look Ok but the gap was bugging me,, then the left.. so to fill in the gap I tried a few copper reducers,, 2' to 1 1/4" the same size as stock exit pipe,,, seems to help alittle with low end torque like Cadd Q said... so I trim the 1 1/4" down alittle and drive the reducer in deeper.....Ill paint them BLACK,, BUT all in all not bad,,Plus changed the tone alittle,,, AND you can use exhaust reducers as well about 5/8$ Rich

I like the looks ! I'm sure it will help the low end torque too. On my cobra's, I put a 1/4'' bolt through the exhaust tips to help regain the lost low end torque. I think you will note a difference.

Your mufflers look like Cherry Bombs now! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif Let us know if you notice any difference in performance or torque.

[skeeter]

don't paint them, let'm age.

[radco]

THANKS for the ideas,, I may add that bolt mod... and IMO it does add alittle bit to the low end,,,,NOT a TON but Seems to help..May be in my head and there isnt much there anyway ::).. AND it does HELP the sound alittle as well.a little different tone http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gifI thought about the tips againg so thats a maybe..I can allways paint them later.....BUT the maine reason I put them on was to cover the space from the mod job.So all around Im happy http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif.......Rich

I regards to the low end, I noticed the V&H gives me more low end but I lose some at top end. I think that's typically how it works but I've been known to be wrong in the past.

[cactusjack]

Should have used the 1-3/4" hole saw when you debaffled. ::)

Edit: My bad. Didn't notice where you said the pipes came that way.

I think he bought them already drilled out CJ.

[radco]

CJ TC is right .. I purchased the whole system allready done,,,The Goat Belly has a PERFECT weld http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif.. If I did it I would use the 1 3/4" hole saw.. I have a whole set of hole saws ::).... Rich

Here's what i did with my pipes. After the muffler modification(that sounds great) I didn't like the big open holes in the end so i made these out of perforated steel and just riveted them in place.

Jimbo,,NOW thats cool. I wonder what else people have done for tips Etc... DID that change the sound alitle?? notice and Lo End Torque difference??? Im also going to try the Loli Pop add on..... Rich

Nice add on and good idea Jimbo, I have V&H so it would take a 4 inch copper plug for those which i dont think would work.

[cactusjack]

Wow Jimbo, great idea. It would keep the critters out, too.

Radco,

Great idea! They really finish it out nicely.

Jimbo,
Another great idea! I think this could work for me with my Cobra Slash Cuts and tone them down a little.

Jimbo,
That looks good...simple, not obtrusive, and doesn't detract from the lines.
