Title: New lers
Post by: 50tbrd88 on August 13, 2012, 04:15:29 PM
Saturday the family and I took my 'bird to a carshow with a friend from work. It was the 1st time my 1 year old had ever been in my T-bird and the wife was not at all happy with how loud the car is. She's thinks its too loud for my boy and does not want to ride in it much until I quiet things down. You know what they say, "mama aint happy aint nobody happy".
My exhaust setup (shown in my sig) sounds awesome at idle or low RPM's but I will have to admit it is very loud at anything above 1/2 throttle. It really has a straight-pipe sound to it at WOT, which I've honestly never been happy with.
I think the time has come to go with something quieter than my Pypes Violators (I know, I'm getting old). Anyone have recommendations? I would like to keep my off-road H-pipe and do dumps/no tailpipes as I like that look. Would dumps cause more drone? I'm not a huge fan of Flowmaster (but could be persuaded).
Anyone have advice on or even better yet, vids they want to post of similar setups to what I want?:bowdown:
On a side note, after Saturday's car show my buddy and I lined up our cars on a deserted county road. His car is a '75 Nova w/warmed over 350. I had him beat until I messed up the 2-3 shift! Doh!:burnout:

I don't have any experience with them, but I'm looking at some Dynomax VT's (http://"http://www.dynomax.com/lers.php?ler=vt"). Nobody here can tell me if they're any good, when the money comes up, I plan to find out.

I only heard from some other people that they are nice and quiet until you stand on the loud pedal. I'm thinking of going that way myself when I get that far along.

I like the quietness of the 50 series Flowmaster myself. A nice, quiet, low frequency rumble only gives a hint of what might hide under the hood. Even at WOT they aren't terribly loud and the 50 series mostly eliminates the droning... that and lizard skin ;)

I've got a bbk off road X and flowmaster 40's...nice and throaty, but not loud or obnoxious as some, let alone straight pipes, etc.
And dumps will more of the rumble/burble of the exhaust note into the cabin, depending on how far back they are.

I had 40 series Flowmasters and to me, they were too loud. I had some stainless Dynomax lers installed. Still has a good sound, deep, and a LOT quieter on the highway now. I can talk without raising my voice.

I'm running a pair of Flo-tech Terminators with high flow cats and an X pipe from Pypes and exit at the rear bumper. It has a nice rumble @ idle, quiet @ cruise, yet you know that there is something under the hood when I stand on it. If I were running dumps, it would be a totally different story.

Post by: thunderjet302 on August 13, 2012, 09:17:52 PM
I wouldn't use dumps as they will make your car louder. I would keep the tail pipes and just change out the lers. I know DynoMax Super Turbo lers are pretty quiet, but they probably don't flow as well as what you have now. I run FlowTech Afterburner lers which are pretty loud under full throttle put they are fairly quiet under cruise with a nice burble. I have all the factory sound deadener so on the highway at 70 (engine is turning close to 3000 rpm due to the non lock up toque converter) with the A/C on the car is quiet enough to hold a normal volume conversation. With the windows down I hear more wind noise than engine noise at cruise. If I romp on it to pass someone it's pretty loud though :).

Definitely louder with dumps, the sound spreads out under the rear of the car, instead of straight out the back, as it would with tails.

Post by: 50tbrd88 on August 14, 2012, 07:26:01 AM
As it is now you have to raise your voice a tad at highway speeds. Floorboard the loud pedal and its just insane. My buddy said he could not even hear his car over mine Saturday when we raced. lol, I'm pretty sure the Pypes lers are some of the loudest on the market. I have never been around Dynomax but (no pun intended) it sounds like they may be what I'm looking for.
Flowmaster makes a good ler but personally, I've never been that excited about how they sound. Are the 50 series quieter than the 40 series?
Maybe if I went with something pretty quiet and combined it with dumps, it will achieve the sound I want. I think going without tailpipes looks good on our cars and I've always like how dumps sound. Another reason I want to get away from tailpipes is that I have a lot of trouble with sing. I lost count of how many times my tailpipes sed this year on Power Tour.

I currently have stock mustang headers, off road H, and some low mileage 94 cobra lers from my brothers car, dumped with turndowns. It is very quiet while driving.
I bet some magnaflows or dynomax would be just fine for your car.

Dumps are many things, they're louder than tails, they're illegal (pretty much anywhere I'm aware of), they're unsafe (exhaust should exit the perimeter of the vehicle to avoid CO pooling and entry into the cabin), and if that weren't enough, dumps are a cop out. You can get over that axle with 2.5, 2.75 or 3.0, or you can get "in and outs" (http://"http://www.amazon.com/Magnaflow-14210-Polished-Stainless-ler/dp/B000COTDEI") and exit at the side in front of the wheels (hope you don't have dirty exhaust) 2k Cobra 'R' style. It's not like you don't have a hundred options.

Post by: 50tbrd88 on August 14, 2012, 12:08:07 PM
I don't plan on dumping the exhaust right off the ler at all, I was thinking of going up over the rear axle and then dumping them. I just don't want tailpipes or tips sticking out. There are TONS of cars that run dumps out there, some of which are very high dollar builds, so I don't think calling it a "cop out" is an accurate statement. But that's your opinion.
I know 2.5 will go over the axle because that is what I'm currently running. I just don't like how the shiny tailpipes look. I guess I could do some stock looking turndowns and paint the tailpipes black or something so they are not noticable.
I think running exhaust out the side in front of the tire looks redneck unless done correctly, and I doubt any exhaust shops around me would do it to a very high standard. Plus, running it out the sides seems louder to the occupants due to the sound waves bouncing off of every vehicle, building, etc you drive by.

I may have to look into Dynomax, from what I've read elsewhere they are a popular choice over Flowmaster. Sure are a ton of folks running dumps out there if you look on youtube...

Dumps are a cop out. It's the easy way, the cheap way, and it doesn't matter how many people are doing it. Lots of people stuff cheap ebay re-based junk HID burners in their stock headlights and think they're cool, and just blind people and look like assholes, and THAT doesn't make it any less of a cop out. Lots of people weld fart can lers on their 15 year old 5th owner Civics with otherwise stock EVERYTHING and think they're Paul Walker, but they're not. They're not anybody, they'e barely NOBODY. They're medium pimpin' half-ass-tic fantastics.
If you don't want shiny tails, don't get shiny tails. Run GT style 2.5's high and tight with a turn down at the end that cuts flush to the rear bumper sight line. For anything visible, use matte finish black header paint (http://"http://www.jegs.com/p/VHT/VHT-Flame-Proof-Header-Paint/749303/10002/-1"). Side outlets almost require custom skirts, or oval shaped pipe with slash cut ends mounted just inside the pinch weld. Wanna know what that looks like? Google Boss Mustang underbody pics (http://"http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&biw=1280&bih=909&tbs=isz:l&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=Ni0FiP0V17MYAM:&imgrefurl=http://blogs.motortrend.com/notes-from-the-windy-city-2012-edition-21155.html/2012-chicago-ford-mustang-boss-302-laguna-seca-underbody/&docid=DHC9AozrU51vBM&imgurl=http://blogs.motortrend.com/files/2012/02/2012-Chicago-Ford-Mustang-Boss-302-Laguna-Seca-underbody.jpg&w=1500&h=938&ei=MpkqUOWYNIOJ6AHx9YDwDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=178&vpy=621&dur=984&hovh=177&hovw=284&tx=141&ty=201&sig=109665885417216399710&page=1&tbnh=125&tbnw=200&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:0,i:125"). You just use bigger pipe to compensate for not having a rear path.

lol...I still disagree dude. I appreciate your opinion and all, but I don't think dumps are cutting corners at all. I happen to think the no tailpipe looks fantastic on a car like my T-bird. Maybe I'll get them on and hate it...who knows? All I know is that I have seen several very nice cars run them to varying degrees of success. Sometimes it sounds awesome (it really sounds good on a motor with a big cam) and other times I have noticed that it sounds kinda py. I think if I run it up over the axle with a quieter ler then it will sound good. It actually should not sound much different than running full tailpipes as long as you run a turndown with an angle to it (point towards each other or to the sides of the car instead of straight down at the ground).

Much like anything else, it is a matter of taste and preference. It is the individuality, creativity and the love of our cars that make them what they are and what they will become. I am okay with that, because it is for this reason that these cars have not found their way to the crusher.

Agreed, if you're sawed off after the axle, you're probably pointing it right at the ground right? If you were unloading out the back you might not hear as much of your own noise, You'd be leaving the noise behind instead of bouncing it off the road under you.

Post by: Beau on August 14, 2012, 09:26:33 PM
I can add a little fuel to this:
The Mountaineer had pre-axle dumps...well, today I had the dual in, dual out Flow cut off and a y pipe, cat, and single in, single out Flowwaster put on (to pass inspection, it) and it still sounds rumbly, just not as loud, and it's really not too audible inside now. Before, it was hard to conversate, let alone at all with the throttle stood on.
If you're single, young, have a lot of money for tickets, or the car is a straight up race car, I feel that dumps are at best borderline. Otherwise, well, Foe said it best. Cutting corners.
Do the GT tails. I ordered LX tips and the fit is not what I wanted. Hopefully I can cut the tips a bit when I have the exhaust welded and hung as it needs to be, and make 'em look a little less contrived or some shiznit.
Here's what I leave ya with: with dumps and quiet lers, it'll be louder inside than with louder lers and full tails, IMO. Not trying to give you bludgeon opinions, but I think it'll please the wife and kiddo....myself, my boy is already terrified of my car, and his first complaint is the loudness of it. So I kinda feel where ya might be coming from. Hope this helps :)

Hey like I said I appreciate everyone's opinion, no hard feelings here! I was looking under my car today and I really don't think there is much point to going over the axle and dumping it...might as well just keep tail pipes.
I think I may do as someone else suggested and just swap out the lers for something much quieter. I still don't like how the tailpipes look, but they are stainless and should last darn near forever.

....cut the dumps off and add a set of tail pipes to take the exhaust (and sound) up and over the axle to exit below the rear bumper. This way you keep your existing system and just move the sound to the back making the cabin more quiet without much change to what you hear outside.

I have full tailpipes now w/shorty headers, Offroad h-pipe, and Pypes Violator lers. I was thinking of putting in a much much quieter ler and then running dumps for the look.
Now I'm thinking about just going with a quieter ler and keeping the tailpipes.

Its the fact you CAN'T see them poking out the back of the car that I like. I always liked the factory exhaust on these cars because it was not that noticable at all. If I remember, it was even blacked out and had turndowns at the rear bumper. Sleek, stealthy, and subtle. That's what a fox T-bird is all about, IMO.

I have 3" tail pipes on my 83 and they clear just fine over the axle. Get some 2.5" Fox Mustang GT tail pipes (like a few others have stated) and just have them extended (its somewhere around 8") and tucked tight. I did this with the driver side pipe on my 85 TC and you could not see the tail pipe except through the rear wheel well behind the tire.

That's because you have Mustang LX tails. GT tails ride higher and have a turndown at the end. LX tails (http://"http://www.flowmasterlers.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=3918") GT tails (http://"http://www.flowmasterlers.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=3919")

You learn something new every day. I guess I never really knew there was a difference in tailpipes. I was never a fox Mustang fan, so I don't claim to be an expert on them by any means. I just figured fox Mustang tailpipes were all the same.

Post by: Clayton on August 20, 2012, 06:48:30 PM
make sure theyre chamberd lers, if they have that fiber pack BS in them it'll eventually wear down over time and the noise gets louder. Personal preference I love my mac's so far. I havent had my car down the road yet soI couldnt begin to tell you what they sound like at 40+ mph but at idle it is a little noisy but it evens out as it goes.
I also had a 94 ram with dual 50 series flowmasters on it. That believe it or not sounded realllly good. Very quiet. Until you laid into it.
I hope you get the sound your looking for.
Title: New lers
Post by: TheFoeYouKnow on August 20, 2012, 09:15:19 PM
Run the GT tails, and since you've got to extend them anyway, you might consider swapping some of the pipe for some short glasspacks (not resonators or cherry bombs, but glasspacks with raised interior louvers set facing upstream), as a resonator. Personally, I like what that does to the sound, especially if you use a chambered ler, with super turbos you're probably good with just GT tails.

I talked to a buddy of mine who has his own shop. He has done some work for me in the past and does awesome exhaust fab work.
This weekend I am going to work on the car (new struts, shocks, rear springs). I am also going to bolt in my new lers. Since I plan on having him check my alignment on his rack after doing the struts anyway, I asked him if he would fab me up some tailpipes similar to the Fox GT ones.
I checked and the cheapest fox GT tailpipes are in the $50 range per side, then you factor in paying someone to lengthen them and I think I'd be money ahead just to have him bend them up from scratch.
So if anyone wants some stainless Pypes tailpipes, I might have some for sale soon. I will probably keep the Violator lers for some other projects.
Title: New lers
Post by: Aerocoupe on August 22, 2012, 07:59:13 PM
The problem with local shops and the hydraulic benders they typically have is that the bends required to go up an over the rear end usually end up with some crush and can restrict the flow up to 20% on average. I say this as that my buddy's family owned an exhaust shop for over 40 years and Mike was a magician at exhausts. He would buy mandrel bends to do 3" and larger exhausts due to how custom they are with the large diameter pipe. With anything 2-1/2" and down he bought the kits which already had mandrel bends as he could not build them any cheaper. Now with that said your friend may be like mine and good at what he does but to really knock out a set of tail pipes he would most likely want to use a stock tail pipe to pattern the new one off of. Now going to all this trouble I am highly doubting you want to use the anemic 2-1/4" stock tail pipes either.
My suggestion is to buy the ones for $50 if they are mandrel bent and let him add the necessary length. This in the lone run will be cheaper, look better, and only take a couple of hours. Just my experience from all the years in high school and after college hanging out at the in Shop watching Mike, his bother, and their dad make hundreds of exhaust systems.

I figured he will use the tailpipes currently on the car as a pattern for the over the axle part and then just change up the tailpipe section. He can do this cheap for me, basically for the price of the materials. I didn't figure it would cut down flow that much though.

Talk to him and see what he thinks. His time is money and the aftermarket 2.5" mandrel bent tail pipes will definitely cut down on the install time.

Just talked to my exhaust guy and decided to go with the mandrel bent fox Mustang GT tailpipes based on our conversation. He said with his pipe bender, it would be hard to replicate the GT turndowns. The only way he would be able to do it right would be to weld on some sort of chrome turndowns, and that is not what I want.
So I ordered Walker/Dynomax 2.5" GT style tailpipes and he is going to lengthen them for me. Hope they get here quick as my appointment is Tuesday.

So I ordered Walker/Dynomax 2.5" GT style tailpipes and he is going to lengthen them for me. Hope they get here quick as my appointment is Tuesday.
It's a great way to go! I've been pleased with the GT style tailpipes on both exhuast systems I've had on the car. Hope the holiday weekend doesn't hook you on delivery.

Yeah I'm afraid they won't arrive in time. It said they were in stock and coming from Ohio (Summit Racing) so maybe that will help.

I have a tracking number, they automatically email you one when you place the order. You can't always trust their estimated arrival times though.
I did check it this AM and it looks like they will arrive today.

They arrived last night. I'm gonna drop the car off Tuesday to have him lengthen them for me and do an alignment.

I know this is dragging one up from about a year ago but how did it turn out and which lers did you end up installing?

Dynomax mustang gt tailpipes lengthened with dynomax super turbo lers. It's quiet until you stand on it and then it just has a nice deep tone.

Why don't you get a current pic in your sig and let us see how the GT's fit back there.

Honestly guys I have not had time to do much car-wise. My job is so busy it's insane. I work 6 days a week and have not even had time to wash my Tbird this spring! Combine that with the fact that it seems as if it rains every freakin day and it does not leave much "car time". I've driven it only like 3 times...it's kinda sad really.
I need to get current pics and take some videos of the new exhaust!

Thread revival! Actually have a day off for a change so I'm gonna get some pics of my exhaust setup and film some videos to show you all how it sounds (as soon as my video cam battery charges up).
Oh and beast50, I'm keeping the Pypes setup in case I want to reinstall down the road.

I'd like to see how the GT tail pipes look. I'm thinking of replacing the LX style tails on my Thunderbird with them.

I've thought about spray bombing the tailpipes black but I'm afraid it wouldnt look right. I've got a video I'll upload in a bit. It honestly did not come out very well...sounds waaay quieter than it does in person.

Here is the video. Sounds a lot better on a computer...was listening to it over the py speaker on my video cam and it sounded horrible. Hopefully I can get someone to video me taking off or doing a fly by.

That looks really good. It's just Mustang GT tails with extensions? If so I'm getting the same tail pipes for my thunderbird. It sounds good too. I think I'll pick up some super turbos for the Mark.

Thanks guys!
Thunderjet302- Yeah they're just fox mustang tails that were extended a tad.
