Brian P Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 Call me crazy and tell me if I'm wrong, but I was thinking about the exhaust setup (not just for loudcut but for myself). Now without getting into ideal exhaust flow rate and whatnot, my main idea was to find a pipe size AFTER the Y split that would keep exhaust velocity about equal to the pipe BEFORE the Y-split. Now '89-90 TGP, '91 3.1 cars and '91-96 3.4L DOHC cars had a stock 2 1/4" single pipe, going to a Y split, then to a pair of 2" pipes to the mufflers. '92-96 W-bodies with the 3.1 and duals had a single 2" exhaust pipe, going to a Y split, then into a pair of 2" pipes to the mufflers. I can't see anything good coming from slowing the exhaust down. You can think of the Y-split as like having one smaller pipe, dumping into a larger pipe. I did some rough calculations using "generic" numbers. I picked 5 CFM flow-rate as the number to use. Assuming a 2.5" pipe, at 5cfm I'd get a velocity of 147 ft/min. Now to keep things simple, lets assume the Y-split is equal, and each pipe would get exactly half of the exhaust flow (probably not, but whatever). Now we'll use the flow rate number 2.5 CFM, with a velocity of 147 ft/min. I got a number of 1.77" Diameter pipe for after the Y-split. So going with a 2.5" pipe setup from the downpipe to the Y-split, then to a pair of 2" to the muffler, may be an ideal design, ASSUMING 2.5" exhaust would be ideal for YOUR engine. Thoughts?
Brian P Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 this forum is such a piece of shit. I tried posting that like 4 times.
97loudcut Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 Well, I have a little bit before I get this exhaust work done.. so I need to know!
97loudcut Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 Here are some more pictures of the tires. I know they are blurry but it was outside and it is cold out.. I was shaking considering I was in basketball shorts and a t-shirt. Don't stare at this one too long, you'll get a headache!
jeremy Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 just for shits and giggles sake ....where were those tires made?
97loudcut Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 I just checked the stickers and it doesn't say.
97loudcut Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 Oh BTW, I also installed my 2nd RSTB via AWeb because I sold my first one back when I was getting the CSVT!
Addicted To Boost Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 Oh my god Matt- ur not in any of the pics!! I think I might just light myself on fire and jump out the window!! LOL

I hear ya. My thinking is the same. Gradually decreasing the pipe diameter is the way to go.

LOL It would be much better if he would switch places with his girl when taking these part pics. Get her in front of the camera instead of behind it. She photographs well, trust me on this one.....

I hear ya. My thinking is the same. Gradually decreasing the pipe diameter is the way to go. I was sorta thinking the same thing myself. Using some simple Fluids calculations makes everything nice. I still say a 2.5" downpipe to the cat, then 2.25" after the cat. I think the cat will slow it down JUST enough to warrant the 2.25" piping back. Then, as Brian said, use 2" from the Y.

terryk2003 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 can you get a close-up of the sticker & the sidewall!?...i'm really curious as to where they're made now!

Andrew Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 can you get a close-up of the sticker & the sidewall!?...i'm really curious as to where they're made now! The sticker didn't say where they were made.. but I haven't checked the sidewall yet! Well hurry it up dammit, and start driving on them so we can get some feedback. You've got me real curious about these tires, im considering buying them in 245/45/18 trim and storing them til i get the rims i want. they'll be over $150 cheaper than the tires i currently wanted!and i cant find them anywhere else but Ebay. tirerack, dicounttiredirect, nor onlinetires has them.
97loudcut Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Posted February 17, 2007 Ha! Right on the sidewall it says "Made in the U.S.A." NICE!
slick Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 Quick question, but what does it matter if it's made in the USA or not. As I can guarantee that atleast 75% of the materials for the tires came from other countries.
97loudcut Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Posted February 18, 2007 That was not a quick question.
