Call me crazy, I want it louder

[Josh]

wondering if anyone out there has made their deuce louder, and if so what did ya do. im new to diesel engines, and always figured a bigger pipe = louder, but im curiose to see what, if any, others have done.

Its already a straight pipe. well you can cut it off straight under the fender. but dont get to short or you can run into back pressure issues.

I think bigger pipe just makes it a deeper sound?

You could clothes pin a baseball card in the spokes.

Remind me never to move near you.

get a whistler turbo, the nice shrill scream should keep you at bay

that is probably the funniest thing ive read today.


i dont really know why i like loud things, but i cut the muffler off a 67 camaro with a 383 stroker, made it not run as well, but it sounded much cooler.


personal preferance, i was thinking about uping it to a 6in pipe right after it comes outa the fender but i was curious to see if anyone has done this to see if it really makes much of a difference


Edit - How much does a whistler turbo normally run?

It MIGHT make it deeper, but not louder.

let me rephrase that, a turbo in general, a quick search on the classified ads turned up 1 turbo that he doesnt know what kind, and ebay was even less helpful =/


hrm deeper is better, i was thinking of replacing the stock horn with a K3LA mostly because the horn on it now just seems to be to high of a pitch.

YouTube - K3LA At Barnum



dont really know how to do the whole imbed the video into the commment thing, looked but came up short handed

 

[grounded]

if its fat its a non whistler . if its a skinny its a whistler.

price $100-150 usually. depends on who, what, when and where you find it

that should give you some help

 

[Josh]

well that brings up to the next step, whos got a C turbo for sale, and who wants to buy a D turbo.

i need to remember to refresh before i post. =/

Short stack the exhaust straight thru the hood, add some zoomies if you like.

 

[Josh]

stupid question, what is a zoomie

 

[nklpltd]

There was a guy on this site that did up the size of his exhaust and posted pics. I don't remember his name, but there is a thread of someone doing this.

Edit- His name is Dieselsmokem35a2

Maybe you could top it off with a megaphone tip.

CRAZY... Yoy can get a 12volt alternator ans battery and hook it up, then get a stereo for the cab or wherever, probably an under-dash unit and some Rockford Fosgate 'EARTHQUAKE' speakers and put them in the bed. Now just get a racording of the Space Shuttle take-off and play it on a LOOP. While your at it, you might add propane to the exhaust and shoot some flames......CRAZY<CRAZY< you said it.......... Na, some of us want the booming attention getting noise, some prefer a muffeled Deuce. Mine is muffeled, but still whistles plenty, enough that it draws attention when I drive by. ....................
CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY

Something else to remember.... The Turbo, as my thinking goes, (from reading) was primarily used to reduce exhaust noise, not so much for power, but to calm down the exhaust note. So... theory would have it that the whole idea is an oxymoron.......not you, the idea..... of louder exhaust. Seems a non-turbo would make more noise. still think the propane thing would be cool, ahemm.....
