Bloody Hell! Talk about LOUD!

[RTjunkie]

Yeah, ok...so I went and did it.

I decided to do it today....and, well....lets put it this way. You can feel it in your bowels. :D

For anyone that didn't notice, the reso's are now gone too. :D


Suitcase: 21.5 lbs
Resonator (ea.): 19.00 lbs

Total weight reduction - 59.5 lbs! NICE!

[BigHomey]

color me green with envy RTjunkie sweet, sweet sound....so jealous...must...get...mine.........

[RTjunkie]

Be careful with this one! If you don't want interior noise, this IS NOT for you...LoL.

Straight pipes under acceleration is just....wow...

[BigHomey]

what system is it? or is it brylcreems?.......

[RTjunkie]

what system is it? or is it brylcreems?.......


Pure pipes man. No suitcase, no resonators. :D I've let the Brylcreem go in an effort to go LOUD. I succeeded with flying colors...LoL

[Dan]

Open headers next!

[PaCharger]

You are insane....and I'm jealous...Very cool. I wouldn't be able to sneak into the house anymore though...mine is LOUD enough.

[BigHomey]

:monster: truly you are...What you have there my man, is Thunder in a can...still jealous...

[RTjunkie]

Open headers next!

That'd be PURE insanity...haha. dump the cats, install long-tubes and no pipes...rofl

You are insane....and I'm jealous...Very cool. I wouldn't be able to sneak into the house anymore though...mine is LOUD enough.


Doug, I so wish you could hear it in person....the sound is astounding. When you open her up it's almost like you can hear each one of the 350 horses galloping just behind you as they thrust you froward. I wore a bit 'ol sh!t-eatin grin the entire trip home. WOT is just pure awe!

[PaCharger]

Why didn't you just go with eCutouts and have choices? Think that is one of my nearer term mods....everyday I think about it a bit more. Add to the fact I want new tips on the exhaust and I have a hanger weld busted...it really is a maintenance item now..:yes: Right honey? :grin:

[glennkill]

While I did not remove the resonators, I did have the suitcase cut out and straight pipes installed. Here is my feedback on this mod after spending a day driving post-mod:
1. exhaust is noticeably louder under acceleration. At full roll-on, it absolutely growls.
2. At idle, I notice no difference in sound
3. At speed, there is a louder exhaust note...although not obnoxious. I have noticed no "drone".
4. Once OD kicks in, she purrs....exhaust is barely noticeable even with radio off.

So...my recommendation is this....if you have not "done it"...do IT! I am very happy with this $50 mod.

Well, quite honestly I'm a bit of a risk taker. I figured all the time I've spent with the Brylcreem on the car, and as much as I love it....each time I hit the gas it's just nowhere near loud enough to me. I'd been debating straights for a few months...I finally just bit the bullet and did it. I figure if I'm desperate enough to change it, it'll be an easy change later. eCutouts are a great choice for anyone that wants to go back and forth...I just decided I didn't want the hassle of something else that could break later on down the road like those could. So, I said screw it...I'm cuttin the reso's and going that route! :D

Indeed your feeling on the Bryl are spot-on! Only difference here is that I've moved on from the Bryl to straight pipes...hehe.

If you check my sig you'll see the original Bryl thread that I made some months back. :)

Way cool Nate. Now we need a nickname for this setup too.

And it's only a matter of time before NoiseOff (http://www.noiseoff.org/exhaust.shtml) picketers show up outside your house. :grin:

Thanx bro ;)

Lets see...a new name...

Thunder Down Under?



Easy fix for them picketers...I'll just continuously rev my engine near them until they are deaf...then they'll have nothing to complain about. :D

[brettlee3232]

sounds good! is that a RT?

Well, you have no complaints from me since I'm deaf. ;)

Can't wait to hear on Saturday at Race Rock!

[R/T Charger]

Man thought mine was loud with 40's and no res..Man that takes the cake lol sounds great,Better stock up on some asprins ....

[RTjunkie]

Sure is! Betcha never thought an R/T would sound like that aye? :D

Ohhh...deaf or not you're GONNA hear this one! :D

Just bought 1,000 shares of Bayer today.....





no, really...







Ok, not really....but I should...lmao

[albertadodgeboy]

Sounds good. I cut the res out of an srt 8 system and kept the srt 8 mufflers. Very distinct sound. I can hear the wife pulling up when I am in the shop. Not sure if I could handle a straight exhaust on a 1600 km trip. The sound kind of drops when the engione shuts down to cruise speed.

We'll see how the long term ability to handle it goes. :) I think I'll be able to handle it...especially once there is some carbon buildup to help tone it down a little.

[Mines Black]

You are insane....and I'm jealous....


What he said

Sounds Sweet I like it










Must resist Must resist go away mod bug :D

[STMhellion505]

how much should i expect to spend if i were to go to a metal shop or somethin(where should i go) and ask for a bolt on set of straight pipes....i am planning on replacing factory mids w. JBA high flows and i would like a set of straight pipes to put on for the track and take off for the road(i dont need another ticket for my exhaust bein too loud)...any info on this would be great...i am an impulse buyer...if i go in and ask i will walk out with product...wheter i want to buy it or not....which is why im askin yall, what pipe diameter should i get for a 5.7? but mainly what will it cost

3" Max I would say. I would also expect to pay about $300 for a full length catback of straights. A lot of places will tell you immediately that 3" pipe isn't as easy to bend. Takes a skilled tech behind the bender.

That was the quote I got several months ago when I asked a shop how much it'd cost.

[RTjunkie]

Just weighed the suitcase and the resonators.

Suitcase: 21.5 lbs
Resonator (ea.): 19.00 lbs

Total weight reduction - 59.5 lbs! NICE!

you say 3" max...could that possibly be too much...i was thinkin maybe 2.75" but maybe i duno what im talkin bout....

[legmaker]

color me green with envy RTjunkie sweet, sweet sound....so jealous...must...get...mine.........

bighomey - hey, what part of stockton are you in??? i lived in stockton before i moved here to orlando!! i lived in brookside from 96 - 2001. i here the town has changed a lot since i left! oh, sorry nate, did not mean to jack your thread buddy, just got a little homesick! lol :tongue:

[legmaker]

Well, you have no complaints from me since I'm deaf. ;)

Can't wait to hear on Saturday at Race Rock!

yeah, but mike, i guarantee that you will FEEL the exhaust!!! :grin:

[RTjunkie]

I doubt it would be too much, but without being an expert by any means, I would guess that anything larger than that would start to have adverse affects on scavenging. That's only a guess though of course without any attempt to work out the math.








Chris - No harm no foul my man! :D Hi-Jacking is what we all do best...lmao

[legmaker]

ain't that the truth!!!

[canadiancharger]

Sure is! Betcha never thought an R/T would sound like that aye? :D

no, really...

Two things,

1st, It's you I have to thank for recommending the (brylcream mod).
I love it.
2nd, I want to do the strait pipe's but I'm worried about my neighbors'!!
I know it's pretty loud but a sound/video clip doesn't do it justice I'm sure and I'm just afraid it might be tooooo loud?

[RTjunkie]

Well, I wouldn't say TOO loud...my 1976 T/A with a 400ci big block running open headers was TOO loud. ;)

[tyoung]

That sounds bad ass! That's why a cut out switch would be so cool, cuz I don't think I would want it that loud all the time. (But revving at a light would be awesome!)

[Dookie]

If it's too loud, your too old! :rockon:

Sounds nice Nate. How's that fade lighting coming along?

[MagChargerRT]

wow cant believe you did it Nate! I have been un-happy with my brylcreem also. Just not loud enough any more. Im debating which way to go. Str8 pipes are crazy though! Sounds goooooood!

[epoch]

I've been thinking of dumping my resonators because I want more volume. I have Flowmaster Super 40s in place of the stock suitcase right now.

I hate the look of the reso's, too.

[PaCharger]

I hate the look of the reso's, too.

Me too...dumb looking things...mine are gone...:grin:

[BadazBee-423]

FREEKIN blowing flames out the left side looked like :) LMAO JUST PLAIN NASTY....You ain't sneekin up on nobdy but Johnny Law now.....LOL

Also thinking these Hemi engines require a certain amount of back pressure. No issues yet? Careful on the rings....JMO

Cats and Mids and Headers are all stock...there's more than enough back pressure left in there...hehe.

Yeah they do look frickin retarted back there. I'm glad they're gone now. :D

Woo boy! It's nuts man! I think I could blow Kyle's car out of the water in the volume department...haha.

If it's too loud, your too old! :rockon:

Sounds nice Nate. How's that fade lighting coming along?


Thanks Kyle!

Admittedly, I'm far from being too old...but that '76 T/A I had was running open headers...it truly was too loud. In idle the entire car vibrated like there were 4 12" subs in the back pumping out a full 4,000 watts. It was pure insanity...WAY over what this car cranks out, probably because there's actually pipe on it...lol.

Fading Lights are getting there slowly. The lightbus came in...I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but will tonight I hope. I'm really anxious to see how this setup comes together.

[reddawgfuji]

we need an update on this thread!

[gramps]

Hey RTjunkie, where did you get the work done at and how much? I just got the brylcreem, and I like it, but I also wouldn't mind louder.:grin:

[silverstreak07]

so you still have your factory cats or no? and did that mess with your motor at all...in a bad way?

[funkycold69]

well i have the same smile for about a month now ! my car is a little over a month old and 3 days after i got my R/T i pulled the suitcase and the res's off ! cats and straight pipe !! the only problem is the 4 cyl drone on the freeway ..when im stomping on it on the freeway it sounds awesome ...the 1-2 and 2-3 when all the way on it has a very loud growl when shifting ...but if loud and mean is what you want this is it !!!!

[jesseowen21]

I'm afraid I will get hassled by the cops if I do this. Any of you have cop problems with this yet ?

[Gandorf]

Ive never had problems with cops in my area when I had my truck with strait pipe. Ill probably be doing it on my charger as well. Just gotta wait a while since I just bought the car a week ago. Gotta save up to do some modding. :D By the end of next month maybe.

[PimpLay2]

If you want a REAL LOUD cut everything off (reso,suitcase,cats) if you want it LOUD cut off (resos,suticases) if you want it KINDA LOUD at 1500Rpm-3000RPM just cut off suitcases and put Flowmasters

:)


I cut off my suitcases and put Flowmaster Super 40's and I cut off my resos and I LOVE THE SOUND, im thinkin of takin of cats and getting kooks header because my dad inspects cars so i can pass inspection!

[PimpLay2]

I'm afraid I will get hassled by the cops if I do this. Any of you have cop problems with this yet ?

u cant get hassled by the cops if u pass inspection? they cant say ****

[Marcus]

Now that is just INSANE!

[Badass Charger]

I have Flowmaster 40's (not super 40's) and added the 3" inlet/outlet resonators by Flowmaster w/3.5" x 10" stainless steel tail pipes by Stallin. It sounds extremely good with out all the drone inside the car. When I first started building this system I first removed everything from the suitcase back and put in the 40's w/straight pipes. It gave me a hardon until I jumped on the freeway and went deaf. I went back and put on reso's and all the shop had was Magna Flows. It killed everything and made it almost as quiet as factory. I then got online and looked to see what Flowmaster had and ordered their reso's and had the Magna Flow's removed and the Flowmasters put in. It wound up being a great choice. It has the classic muscle car tone at idle and really opens up nice when on the gas. I have also recently had a set of ceramic JBA shorty headers put on which didn't add any drone but an even better deeper tone.

[blackielv]

I have flowmasters with the brylcream mod and electric cutouts. That wasy with the cutouts closed, shes pretty but not too loud and with the cutouts open she sounds like thunder alley. Having the e cutouts really gives you the option of going back and forth with just the flick of a switch. I highly reccomend it.

TB #3034 Flowmasters / Electric cut-outs / Brylcream Mod / Flashpaq SC 91 Perf / 180 therm / Viper Alarm / Clarion V765RX HU flip down DVD NAV MP3 / Tint / K&N CAI / Reversed Trunk Spacers / Peeled side moldings / Coming this week NO ESP mod and soon to come: Custom painted engine cover and fan mod and Predator Diablo!

[dudeiwin86]

u cant get hassled by the cops if u pass inspection? they cant say ****

ummmmm.... your wrong.

example: if you have too darka tinting, the cops can ticket you. but u can still pass inspection.

same thing goes for sound. there is a decibel limit that is written up in the laws. but in bigger cities most cops are more worried about other things unless theyre total d1ckbags.


secondly. you will fail inspection if you dont have your cats on. theyre at the piece of the car that controls your emmissions. and pretty much the only piece. it is why your car will likely throw codes if you replace them or your headers with after market things that aint mopar'd, even tho they can still pass inspection in that regard.

get your facts straight budday, before you get others in trouble ;)

But if you get the people who did you exhuast to do you insoections whats the possibility of not passing inspection.
