REXSPEEDWORTHY Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Have dual exhaust out the side of my 79 DL with cherry bombs. How can I post this video? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6270008469120104046 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REXSPEEDWORTHY Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 It's a 3 speed auto FWD Sound big mean and fast, when really it's not. I'm thinking about some plates "2SLOW4U":brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 sounds like my '78 Brat did when I had my custom exhaust but it wasn't dual. Go gen 1's with custom exhaust. They rock!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Wow that sounds great! Wish I could save the vid though... I'm going for a custom exhaust whenever mine is smoged and running right (probalby a long while), glad to know it sounds as awesome as I thought it would sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoTGrimes Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Son of a Vondruke! I got 1365KB into the file (long time for a 3.5K modem) then IE just quit. Is there audio I can d/l? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75subie Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 so did you scrap the y-pipe and make it a true dual exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fishums Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 reminds me of my old dual exhaust! sweet! mine was higher pitched though, on an EA-81. Nice paint they yellow is kinda wild but it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REXSPEEDWORTHY Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 so did you scrap the y-pipe and make it a true dual exhaust? he cut the y pipe before it joined together, so yes true dual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 oh man i can't wait to finish mine now!!! i got 2 1/4" pipe going into a performance resonator then stock the rest of the way back... 150 more bucks and he'll top it off with a magnaflow or something...

Mr Fishums Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I might start making custom mandrel bent Y pipe header manifolds, I will get some pictures up of the one I am working on when it is done. As for changing sizes in pipe, you don't want to go from bigger pipe to smaller pipe.. you can burn up your valves that way. Duals are great, but your engine will run smoother with a Y pipe. It creates a suction that helps pull exhaust of off the oppoising cyclendar, great for low end torque! Duals would be great for a really free flow application with an aggressive cam and over size/dual carbs... Matching you intake pressure with your exhaust pressure is the best way to go. as for size of pipe only go: stock size to same size stock size to bigger size big header to bigger pipe If you don't think this is the case weld a plate on the end of your muffler then drill a small hole through it, you'll get the same results quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75subie Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i will be doing something simular when it warms up outside. i just went today and picked up a 2.5 inch thrush glass pack, and some piping and clamps since i don`t know how to weld:mad: it should sound pretty sweet, going to do a single so i don`t sacrafice back pressure. and then a big chrome tip to top it off:grin: do you guys thing the glass pack should go up towards the y-pipe or towards the back?

Caboobaroo Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 more toward the back since it will give you a more throaty piped out sound because it would acted more as a muffler when its installed up front. My '78 sounded AWESOME! So awesome that some crackhead stole my muffler in the middle of the night in front of my apartment complex...

SakoTGrimes Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 picked up a 2.5 inch thrush glass pack, and some piping and clamps since i don`t know how to weldquote] Be careful, I did the same thing a few years ago, using very tightly clamped clamps and JB weld to get the muffler on the pipe, but it still fell off (on the freeway). It would be worth it getting another board member to weld it for you; Adam NDJ did mine for next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 yea, maybe that is the way to go, the glass pack actually has quite a bit of weight to it, so that will also put some strain on the piping. i am going to try and make some rubber hangers too.

I welded mine all up on my '78 and had no leaks! Also, get a stock EA82 muffler and cut the metal hangers off of it and weld them onto key locations on your exhaust so it can hang from the stock location. Just make sure you hang it before you go welding it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboystrait Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 damn sounds good rex sound jus like my brat when it was runin it had duals on it too:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75subie Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 sounds interesting:brow: only problem is that i got my liscence suspended again:banghead: ......its a long story:-\ and it wasn`t in a soob;) it was in that damn fast hyundai:lol: maybe still if i can get a friend, or my pop to give me a ride up, and tow the brat behind. that would be cool to weld up the exhaust and off road for a couple hours (one place where i can still drive:D ) any progress on the hatch? hows she running?
