What's up with the exhaust on "CopperHead"? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Zumo · 08-05-2003, 01:57 PM

Is there some sort of bypass switch?

72c10step · 08-05-2003, 02:03 PM

Yes, right next to the seam between the transmission and the overdrive there's a pair of electric exhaust cutouts. Can't wait to hear 'em open!!

cdowns · 08-05-2003, 02:06 PM

i believe those exhaust cutouts run 3-4hundred bucks

Davy · 08-05-2003, 02:58 PM

That would be awesome! I'd like to hear a setup like that.

miket · 08-05-2003, 03:47 PM

Thats pretty cool....I also noticed that fuel pump...seems with all the motor and expense on this rig I would have expected to see a Barry Grant quality fuel delivery system...

rambler · 08-05-2003, 03:49 PM

I'm sure most parts that are put in are supplied by his "venders" who also pay for commerical time..... but its still gonna be a nice looking truck!

miket · 08-05-2003, 03:50 PM

no doubt....

**Yukon Jack** · 08-05-2003, 03:56 PM

Yep, those cutouts are expensive but wouldn't it be fun to be next to some other vehicle who is egging you on and then you hit a switch and your exhaust comes to life.

My boat has thru hull exhaust with "Captains choice" just flip a switch (loud button my son call it) and it comes to life. there are just 2 solenoids that flip down a plate to redirect where the exhaust goes.
Very cool

I have been running those same Mallory pumps on my vehicles for years and they are a very nice piece. Not saying Barry Grants aren't but that Mallory is more than adequite.

*Shane* · 08-05-2003, 06:39 PM

that is cool ... but i wonder how silly that truck is gonna look with 4 different exhaust pipes hanging out from under it ...

miket · 08-05-2003, 07:17 PM

I doubt you will see the cutout pipes....only the street pipes...you will hear the cut outs and by then....with a 572, you won't have a chance to even look for the pipes....all you will see is dwindling tailights off in the distance!!!!!!!

72c10step · 08-05-2003, 07:51 PM

If you look in the picture below, you can see that the cutout pipes hang low enough that you probably could see them. I also remember in the show that he put the exhaust on, that he siad the regular tailpipes in the back tuck up next to the frame/tow package, and you'll never see them.

miket · 08-05-2003, 07:57 PM

isn't that kinda goofy? Oh well.

jef5150 · 08-05-2003, 07:59 PM

he cut holes in the sheet metal,exhaust tips are flush to the body,,,,,,rear end is a custom dana 60 w/35 spline axles,tru-trac posi,w/3:73 gears,,,he also frenched the rear license plate,he also swaped out rear brake lights w/led lights,,,

*Gee_Emm* · 08-05-2003, 08:44 PM

"he also frenched the rear license plate"

Didnt he put on a sport bumper?

Canada20 · 08-05-2003, 09:59 PM

I missed the episode where the box and cab went on; did he keep all the custom stuff he was working on? I only ask 'cuz I noticed the doors that he shaved didn't make it onto the cab this week.

*Gee_Emm* · 08-05-2003, 10:15 PM

I kinda thought he had the doors shaved too, but the last episode I saw had handles and locks on the doors, ??!@??@?@??

Dean23 · 08-05-2003, 10:32 PM

the frenched license plate isnt going on, neither are the exhaust cutouts or shaved handles. He just did those to show how they r done. the pipe exit in the rear tucked up so u can barely see them

Canada20 · 08-06-2003, 09:34 AM

whew! had me a little worried there was going to be some goofy lookin side exhaust setup there

I think if they put the side pipes like the aar cuda had it would look sweet.
