petey-pablo · 01-16-2010, 01:34 PM

Heres some pictures of my new exhaust system it truned out good just needs to be redone alittle around the cut out on the passenger side so I can add a small turn down. I will take some side pictures when I get a chance for some reason I forgot. I wanted something different then what everyone else is doing, I allready know half of you like to criticize & will have not so nice cool things to say about it so here ya go have at it....Try to be nice. I have abig block & you don't....

QTP Electric cutouts & Video to come soon.

Looks good... I like the sound of a single exhaust better then duals.

You might have a problem scraping though (especially if truck is lowered).
I had long tube headers but changed them and ran thru the frame crossmembers..

Can't imagine how scary loud it is with the cut-outs open. Now you just got to work on flaps so you can open them from inside the cab

i think it looks good. i would love to hear it.what kind of muffler is that?

crakarjax · 01-16-2010, 04:45 PM

Next you need to upgrade to an extended bowl toilet...

I'm probably going with a single on a new motor. More scavenging, smoother sound, less weight. I also won't have to spend a fortune on two e-cutouts. And regardless the chevy firing order is boring. People think it's terrible to do a single, but they came with them.

POPO1984 · 01-16-2010, 05:58 PM

Looks good bro

nuke1 · 01-16-2010, 06:11 PM

i think that looks good, nice and clean, and definelty different.

71 super · 01-16-2010, 06:13 PM

I had a set of cutouts along time ago that were controlled by cables, that set is so much nicer. The system looks good. What diameter did you use? What type of muffling unit did you use?

**yote1234** · 01-16-2010, 06:37 PM

right on! nice work

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-16-2010, 06:44 PM

Looks pretty nice congrats..

petey-pablo · 01-16-2010, 07:39 PM

I went with mandrel bent 3 inch pipe The muffler is by bullet performance http://www.bulletperformance.com/ ProTurbo Round Muffler...
Some more pictures from the side...These pictures are at an angle half way in and out of my garage so it looks lower than it really is..

petey-pablo · 01-16-2010, 07:47 PM

Heres some on level ground.

71 super · 01-16-2010, 10:08 PM

I just reread my post, I meant the set you have are nicer than the junky one I used, they clattered and clanged all the time, sounded like a farm tractor with a flapper on the exhaust.

LOL. Good eye. More unit clearance is always a plus when it comes to seat time.

POPO1984 · 01-16-2010, 10:46 PM

What headers are you running

They are some not so expensive, Full-Length FlowTech Headers I bought from summit. Summit Part Number BIG-31530FLT http://www.summitracing.com/parts.aspx?sku=BIG-31530FLT
"If I ever have the money" I will upgrade to something better.

POPO1984 · 01-17-2010, 09:14 PM

Yes they do sit low I wish they were a few inches shorter. Plus I think I need shocks up front its too bouncy when I am going down the freway.I hate hitting those low dips.
