Valve Mufflers/Silencers
What's everybody using for air valve dump silencers? I found these. Do they quiet the noise pretty good?
I even thought about running the dump lines, (I have 2, for an Accu-Air manifold), to the exhaust pipes right after the mufflers. If I could weld a 12" or so length of 3/8" tubing to the pipe and attach the air lines to the end to keep the heat from melting them, I think that would keep the noise down pretty good, especially when the truck is running. |

Re: Valve Mufflers/Silencers
I would give SuicideDoors a call and ask them. I believe they sell these.
Anyone else know? |

Re: Valve Mufflers/Silencers
Just use a muffler/silencer. They work great and take all of 2 seconds to install. Personally I have never used the ones you pictured, but have seen them many times. So that leads me to believe that they work. We also sell these different styles.

Re: Valve Mufflers/Silencers

Re: Valve Mufflers/Silencers
I'm running these from Grainger. I like them because I can slow them waaaaay down.
To adjust them you just turn the screw on the end of them. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4ZJ85?Pid=search Last edited by smashingchuck; 12-28-2009 at 08:29 PM. |

Re: Valve Mufflers/Silencers
I'm running the ones in the last pic that AVS JASON posted. They work fine for quieting the sound down ,but they're not adjustable for speed , mine is just as fast with or without them installed.
