Getting close.
Been trying to finish this truck up but seems the more I do the more I need to do. I have been running it around town for about a month now with 18" of 3" pipe and a pair of 2 chamber Flowmasters. I finally got off my arse and me and my brothers ran the new exhaust. 3" pipes exit just before the rear tires with the short Dynomax race bullets. Not sure how or if I like it. Idling it has a cleaner sound but after 20+ years of always running Flowmasters the Dynomax mufflers just sound, well different. Here is a video of it idling right after finishing it up.
Only things i lack now are the new tranny that's getting built atm and the new drive shaft. |

Re: Getting close.
You wont really know if you like it or not until you are cruising around town and can see if it drones like Flowmasters sometimes do.

Re: Getting close.
I prefer 10 series flowmaster in race apps with mufflers. Im running about 5 feet of 3 inch pipe into 10 series with nothing on the back end. It just dumps out the mufflers. Its deafening loud to those around me. Its loud in the truck but nothing too terrible

Re: Getting close.
Well then truck isn't just for the track. I was trying to get away from how terribly loud and disorted it was. Now it's louder just not distorted like it was. I love how they sound at idle.... yhey just have a raspy soun d under throttle that I am not use to.

Re: Getting close.
Got my new wheels in and had them mounted yesterday. 15x6 front and 15x12 rears with 215/70 r15 fronts and 315/60 r15 MT drag radials rear. Looks and rides like a whole different truck.

Re: Getting close.
Took this last night at a small local get together. The 1915 Tall T next to my truck belongs to the fella that owns Wabbit's Wood Works. They make all the wood panels for early American cars and some gauge setups. Is a really cool guy and an awesome lil all steel Model T.
