Latex paint won't hold up to exhaust heat. Neither will the Gillespie from rapco.
By this I mean it may hold up for a while but eventually it will either peel off or the color will fade out. I know real carc turns a pinkish hue from the heat.
I like my at3535. It's not super quiet but it really took the edge off. In fact it's not the exhaust that bothers me anymore. It's the drive train noise.
Now this is down right interesting. It appears aero exhaust is on their own again. At least judging by the website 59apache posted. However, Jones exhaust still has aero exhaust listed and to top it off it appears Jones exhaust has cloned the aero turbine. I wonder what's going on behind...
$300!? Good lord I found them for $130 and cheaper all day long. The manufacturer will sell you one direct if you email them. www.jonesexhaust.com
That's how I got my at3535.
Ya pretty much the same here. If I stay in town I don't wear muffs but if I was on a long trip or on interstate I still wear them. But, only because of the drive train whine. The exhaust note is still very pleasant at 2300 rpm. I'm hoping when I dynamat the crap out of my cab I hope to be...
No sorry I don't have a sound clip of mine. SkinnyR1 has the 3535xl on his truck and he seemed very pleased with how quiet his truck is now. The 3535 on my truck is impressively quiet to the point I don't wear hearing protection anymore. So if the 3535 works that well then I imagine the...
Don't waste your money on the augers or auger style mufflers!!!!!
I only thought it was quiet until I installed an aero turbine 3535 on my truck. The auger is a joke compared to the aero. The aero also is a flow through design so no worries on raising EGT's.
True, making one would be easy enough. But honestly with the muffler there I think a big shroud would look gaudy. I prefer a much simpler clean look. Not to mention where the stack comes out on the deuce I can't really see how you would touch it. My shroud was mounted up pretty high already...
Probably not. It won't fit around the muffler and it really doesn't look bad without it. Once everything is painted it really won't be noticeable. But nothing is set in stone yet.
If I had to guess the aero muffler reduced sound by 3-4db. As stated before it doesn't seem like much but the way the decibel system works that is a significant reduction in sound. If I was driving around town muffs are now unnecessary. On the highway I still will wear them. Only now...
Added an aero turbine 3535 to my truck. Fits nicely between the fender and stack brace. Its a flow through design so egt's will be minimally affected. Its constructed entirely of stainless steel and has no packing to wear out. The sound reduction of this muffler is impressive. I can now...
Well the a3 isn't mine. Its a buddies truck. Its been a long project we started last November I believe. Finally on the down hill slope tho. Laying on paint is our current task at hand. Then its gonna be interior work, build winch bracket for the front...then that's pretty much it.
I haven't had my stack coated just yet. I have been fixing small problems like flasher units, fuel return lines, gauges I can't read....in between working on the a3 bobber. Which will hopefully be unveiled within the next few weeks. Once that truck is done I'll start pulling my truck apart...
I am powder coating mine flat black. Powder coat can withstand high temperatures for long periods of time. Its also is incredibly durable. Also it isn't nearly as expensive as you might think.
What's interesting about my truck is the entire stack except the upper portion is pink. I don't know if that's normal or if maybe my fuel is hopped up already. I won't know that until I install a pyrometer. Regardless that aero turbine muffler has caught my attention. I want a strait through...
