Tosh Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'm 99.99% sure its fine to. Exhaust is after the motor now it might not sound the best or pass emissions but I don't think its possible to hurt the motor unless you've got some crazy EGR setup.

()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'm not to worried about emissions and i like the sound when i started it my dad thought i started his v8 van . but was just wondering if any harm would come of it....

scrap487 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 no it shouldnt.... just be loud and obnoxious unless its clogged... trust me the drone will get old after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealleyboy Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Mechanially, with the motor as a stand-alone component, the exhaust system is nothing more than an "add-on". However, for a number of reasons (including psychological) quieting things down a bit will give you more confidence as a driver when you really get on it. Excessive noise will discourage you from pushing the car to it's limit. You'll hold back even when there's no mechanical reason to do so. Theres a trade-off here, so you should be mindful of where you drive, and the kind of attention you are likely to attract. If you drive in a populous area you'll want a muffler for the simple fact that a loud car will get some unwelcome looks. Clueless cops thrive on this kind of nonsense. Simple rule of thumb in life: You don't want to open up a can of worms when you don't have to... good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 on the bright side i wont be able to hear the exhaust when my radio is on Trust me thats NOT a good thing for long trips cause sometimes after 2 hours you'd rather listen to the droning sound of exhaust then the 2 cd's you have because you forgot to bring your collection along. Olympia, WA to Pullman, WA, 5 hour drive 1 cd and Open downpipe in my 240. if there had been a tree I probably would of driven myself into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRX Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 given that the glass is broken it'll be alot louder than if it wasn't broken. I ran that setup in my old truck my freshman year in HS and now i'm glad i don't have it. The setup i want to do now is maybe a 2 1/2 inch exhaust with good flow and really quiet... and slap on a electronic cutout. Now that's cool!

()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 5 hour drive over the pass is a car with a cherry bomb with the glass pack burned out of it with no radio ... i just dont mind the sound hell i was thinking of putting a flow master 40 series on :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to drive harder when the exhaust is louder. I don't have a radio in my car either cause I like to listen to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 To Run A Glass Pack Cherry Bomb Muffler With The Glass Burned Out? Will It Hurt The Motor..... And Its A 2 3/4" Muffler To The Stock 2 1/4" Exhaust Tube? Just Wanna Make Sure Im Not Gonna Hurt The Engine -Thanks nah, the glass will all get blown out eventually. it's pretty much just becomes a straightpipe.

I don't have a radio in my car either cause I like to listen to the car. I dont have a stereo in my monster just because of the fact that I'm so paranoid something is going to go wrong i listen to every little sound it makes and if I cant hear something I pull over and figure out whats wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I put a Cherry Bomb glass pack on my Trooper a couple weeks ago. It took less than 15 minutes! I can touch the pack when the vehicle is hot! The pipe will fry my hand. Why not spend the $20 and put on a new, proper sized glass pack rather than a burn out used one? You can't buy a tank of gas for $20. Guess its too late now?

exister99 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Basic physics. The length and diameter of the exhaust pipes dictates how much energy is required to push exhaust fumes out of the cylinders. It isn't much energy, but it is a measurable amount. This resistance is factored into the design of the engine and exhaust system. Dicking around indiscriminately with this design just for noise and kicks is not only annoying, but pretty silly from a performance and egineering standpoint. Have fun...

()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 oh the pipe wasn't used i had shucks burn the glass pack out for me and i figured i lose some performance and gass mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know how much backpressure was "engineered" into the design. I'm assuming that this was kept at the absolute minimum. Keep in mind that these motors were used in a variety of applications - including aviation. I doubt that Fuji intended for a lot of restriction at high altitudes. Probably to opposite...

()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well I Figure There Is Enough Back Pressure Since The Cat And Resanator Are still In Place Oh Well I'll Live With It Till the Motor Craps Out Then Put My Spare in With A New Exhaust System :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun... true in this case but not in all cases turbo cars you want as big of a pipe as you can fit under the car aka you want no backpressure at all after the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
