Nice pix DMV. Love the light quality. Hey you might have gotten some of that

Worked on the trucks exhaust Friday. I made some baffles out of some 18 gauge by drilling a bunch of holes it a peice and cutting out circles just a bit larger than the ID. (sorry no pictures) I then hit it with the ball peen to make the bowl shaped and shoved them in the exhaust pipes. Seems to have quited it down quite a bit. Took a drive for about 40 miles and it is livable now.

I stopped at wal mart on the way home and created a one car car show!

Did your baffles make any noticeable difference in the way the truck runs dmw?

 

[dmw56]

Actually I think it runs a little better or maybe I just think it does because it's more enjoyable.

Thanks. The reason I asked is that I put some baffles in the open pipes on my coupe and it really seemed to choke it up. I had to take them out.

Wow, what inspiration to get started. Thank You so much for the detail and attention given to all of us new comers wanting to get started who constantly get discouraged. I hope you are really happy with it, as I'm sure you are. I know I would be.

I told you a year ago that the 51 would gather a following and I was right. It's a nice compliment to have it included in that guys video. Boneheads test run was in the same batch of video's on the right of the youtube screen too. I watched it several times just to hear that loud engine.
