I ******* that comment all up. Fixed now. I guess I was still asleep

I hope you didn't drive to work that fahqed up

Get a higher stall clutch

I'll just command idle to 1,750, put in 7.17 gears and, eliminate 4th and 5th gear.


So on the real real, using that goobers calculator if I'm trying to eliminate drone around 1,500rpm with a V8 assuming around 350* exhaust temp I would need a J pipe 42" long! That's like 40" longer than I'm used to handling and I don't know if I ordered enough for that. I will use the app he suggested later and check what frequency I get, I was really hoping to do a pipe more like 2foot or less.

thats good thinking, if the problem can be solved with tuning why change hardware

Your right, after all, it is free just gotta peck around on the keyboard a bit. I'm amazed at how much the truck leaned out with the new exhaust. I'm seeing as much as 6-7% lean around the midrange and 3-4% up top after the exhaust change. I wonder if that's more due to the cats being gone or some scavenging magic with the dual pipes into one big ole honker. Might toss a bit more timing and see if it takes that too.

The piping for ththe J tube arrived but it's only about 32" total and I believe I need around 40-42". So I ordered another with the same bends so I have more options. Looks like I might have to hack the rest of the spare tire bracing out like I did on the passenger side so I can fit the j pipe tucked up and clean well above the frame rails like the rest of the exhaust.

Also after cleaning up the tune and smoothing the fuel table it's running damn good! It corners so well under power I really want to find some sort of amateur autoX.

Of course the tune is still doing some weird lean conditions where it suddenly goes lean at idle for seemingly no reason. Oh well the ac works mint again and I'm a happy camper for today.

let me know if you need a hand with that hard pipe

I got someone else to handle the pipe, someone whos willing to buy me a Ford lightening

I can't wait to see the tricks you pull off with that pipe

Ok here's an important question, do you prefer pictures of the pipe itself, maybe resting on something or laying on the ground or even just free-floating? Or do you prefer a hand gripping it? If you prefer the hand, do you like a tight grip or a looser limp grip?

Also, do you prefer an object on screen for comparison? Maybe put a tape next to it so you can really get a feel for the size?

Just over here striving for pipe picture perfection, so I can continue to please my only fans.

 

[randeez]

with a pipe like that, i dont think you could take a bad pic if you tried

Gripping, the only way. Loosely. I like to live on the edge.

Don't drop it!

Tape measure for sure. Gotta get the proper dimensions so I know your skills when you tuck it up and out of sight

I'm not your only fan...I promise

If I don't start from behind the balls I'll have to measure in millimeters.

Damn Scamazon got me again, I ordered mass-loaded vinyl a week or 2 ago to go with my other sound dampening materials. It was supposed to arrive on the 8th and it's showing it still hasn't shipped. I just tried to cancel it but it won't let me saying the product is about to ship. Under the tracking tab it still says estimated arrival is the 8th, something is fucky

 

[randeez]

ive got a few things been ordered weeks ago and no sign if they ever comin. need to just cancel i think

If they even let you cancel muhahahaha

 

[Dantheman1540]

Anyone have a good way I can fish mouth this 3" pipe to fit the hole I cut into the 4" exhaust? I don't mind getting wild with the grinder but a template would be sweet.

I usually just call them when the app won't let me do something.

Canadian heritage. I like it. Sadly, I'm not fluent in the metric system

I'm no help in that department.

I'd make a cardboard template and use that as a guide then trim to fit so you aren't welding up a big gap.

Amazon has been **** lately. I used to pay a bit more just because they were easy to deal with. Now when you have a problem, they dick you around. I've started buying off ebay or direct from the seller listed on amazon. Bast-ards
