We take all of our exhaust work to a shop off of 89th on the south side called Bender's Exhaust. Ben, the owner, has always done exceptional work at a fair price. We paid $450 out the door for everything and he had it done in a few hours. He takes great pride in the work that he does and always has some cool rides in there that he's working on. My boy and I will work on a video today of it. The FM 50s quieted it down but you can certainly tell something is still going on with it!! We wanted to stay way from any interior drone on the inside but still have an aggresive tone outside...I think we got it.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
It creates a suction between alternating exhaust pulses (side to side), increasing the scavenging effect and thus increasing flow...better sound and more power. At least that's my basic understanding

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Give me a couple hours and we'll get something up but we think it sounds good without being obnoxious...

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Well, I got a little distracted tonight and decided to play with some video software that I'm going to have to learn eventually. I figured this might as well be my first shot at it!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Yea 2cellos are pretty dang good! 2 girls have a band called "Bond", they do quite a few song's, they did a good job at Kashmir. But the one in the video is David Garrett, he has probably 10-15 songs like this.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Ok man, I was just about to go down to the garage and cut exhaust passes thru my center frame crossmember, until I saw yours.
I am sooooo stealing your set up now! Thanks for posting the pics of that, I like that set up real well! My only addition may be exhaust dumps, and exiting the body behind the rear wheels as opposed to in front of them like you did.... Thank you for this, now I can move on to other stuff that really needs done !!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
How much of the Camaro swaybar bracketry did you reuse and how much was fabbed? How much of an improvement do you feel?

We used most of the stock bracketry...turned the bar upside down and backwards, opened up the id of the axle saddle brackets to fit the larger dia. of the 12 bolt and welded them to the housing (needed 3/8" spacers between those and the bushing clamps to clear the brake line), welded some 1"x2" c-channel to the frame to space the link brackets off the frame and bolted it in. I think it made a huge difference, we have a 1 1/4" bar on the front and could really feel the rear wallow around. The rear is a 7/8" bar and tightened the burb down substantially, feels like a slot car

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Coming along nicely! Nice job on the rear sway bar, up out of the way and very functional. You have still kept it pretty stock looking in spite of all the great engine, trans and suspension upgrades. Thats cool, kinda of the sleeper thing going on.
Still thinking of silver instead of white on the outside? You might also want to consider a lighter blue, sort of like the 57 Chevy 2 tone color combo. It had the darker blue like your main color and a light blue on the roof and between the chrome trim on the sides. If I can find it on the internet I'll post it up. You should be very proud of your boy, he has developed a great fondness for old iron and the ability to work on it too. Kudos for raising a great kid. |
