Did anybody try running their Z engine with only the expansion chamber on? I saw some neat Ansa tips and figured it would look cooler than some old rusty tailpipe sticking out there.

thx.

Probably like running twice pipes. Loud but god does it sound sooooooooooo good. :devious:

I thought the Ansa exhaust tips were supposed to make the sound less loud?

I think you should ! With 2 1/2" pipes , just dont drive anywhere by my house. :sick:

...or in a tunnel! $^!# it would be loud. When my RC car's muffler is off it echoes in normal suberbia! damn loud! the neighbors told me to f**k off!:stupid: Imagine a z tho... even louder... and better sounding, I would do it if i had a Z

MY 100TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheer'z'

you're right Tomo. I have run headers/resonator to ansi over and under pipes for over 20 years. No problem. Sounds great. NOT loud. I love it. Oh, there are those that will tell you the ansi will fail due to whatever reason without the muffler. My first was a used gift-lasted 6 years. I now have over two decades on my second. I did put an ansi tip that was like a large oval shape ,same config,on another car. It was too loud for my taste.

What exactly you did you have in your rxhaust system, and what engine/mods is on it? I use the stock L28 with no resonator and a coffee can right now.

I was just looking at the MSA Targa system and it looks good, except the sharp bends at the tips.

thx.

I had to cut the exhaust off of my car last night, they welded it straight to the header, and I am going to be purchasing a set of twice pipes, and a new header, not really sure which one yet, but crap it was loud when I started it up running just off of the header. Sounded almost like a V8 at idle. Definetely need something on there to quiet it down a bit. Or at least put the sound behind me.

hi guys.

Just thought I'd throw in the latest . Droped the L28 in with just the extractors, got it running. LOULD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!! at 4500rpm, makes a howl that sounded FANTASTIC! Even when driving to the exhuast joint the other day everyone at the lights was givin me the eye, hehe. Take a photo people.

Got a 2 1/2 system all the way through. Much more refined now and not half as rebellious.

Even a clamp-on silencer would have made a huge difference straight away.

I noticed the D-type Jaguars on the B-J "Car Search" show used a (dual system) with dual silencers that look like a dual tip from the rear.

gees guys were is yalls since of adventure?

what about streight pipes? with a set of headers. outo sound zweet!

Open headers can be fun during the afternoon... :paranoid:
