Dumpies at the Diff, - Page 2

i think i might chop it off before the hotdog at the rear and put a dumper on the end of it there. or just after the hotdog. hmmm decisions decisions. or just get new tips on to suit the new rear bar.

as long as I don't go fanging around everywhere I should be right never got picked on with the other car and that was louder

yeah if you dont give it away that you have a chopped exhaust you should be fine.

The problem you'll face especially if you have an 8 is giving it the right foot to hear that sweet deep note.

Being a 6 I think it will drone badly, my old EL droned even with a hotdog in the rear.

yeah my exhaust is reasonably loud. i dont know why. but it doesnt really drone at all.

i went in another 6 without the rear muffler. and it droned. was yuck.

maybe the muffler/hotdog combination is the winning combo. i still want to dump it. maybe ill go it myself with the hacksaw haha

No harm in trying it mate, you can always get it welded back on if you don't like it.

Mr_4.0 has a 3inch system dumpt at the diff on his EF i6, ask him to post a video clip, sounds good engine not stock tho.

I am thinking of doing it on my ute ... I want it to be reasonably hidden ... it's only a 6 though ... but had a nice lopey cam in it ... so idle is nice.

I just hate seeing the tip just under the rear bar ... prefer the hidden look ... much neater.

Although my problem is clearance around the twin LPG tanks ... I have to get a muffler/hotdog in there somewhere ... I only have the small rear muffler on the system now and it's reasonably loud.

From many, many moons ago when half the exhaust system came off (dont ask!) and it sounded great from the drivers seat...untill I heard it outside

JoesAu · 21-01-2008, 08:15 PM

yeah he needs 2 hot dogs, its so loud.

BLACKAUXR8 · 21-01-2008, 10:35 PM

I had mine dumped at the diff and i found that when i got the tail pipes put back on i gained alot of torque. Due to little to no back pressure in the exaust yeah it sounded good and with high flow cats you can get some wicked flames coming out from under the car (looks sweet when cruisin on highway at night) but the power you loose in my opinion isnt worth it. You do get a fair bit more cabin noise as well due to the exaust echoing through the wheel wells and the boot of the car.

What you say is true. back pressure is important to keep. Its not worth the sacrifice in power if your V8 is next to stock. Although those pulling big hp it wouldnt fase the, :P

Does anyone notice the flamage just as the car starts? if not watch carefully,blink and you will miss,could be dangerous

LUXO_8 · 28-01-2008, 10:19 PM

i see what you mean, but i think it was just a leaf flying up from the ground

UU TS50 · 28-01-2008, 10:27 PM

I See Nothing ??? sounds damn good though

I think you need your eyes tested, they are leaves off my driveway

paddle · 29-01-2008, 08:24 PM

ok before i get flamed i must admit to drinking a tad too much when i wrote my previous,I even slowed the vid down to frame by frame to check and you are right,its a *N leaf,sorry for wasting ford forums precious time! move along..... nothing to see here......

FGII-XR6 · 29-01-2008, 08:39 PM

highly illegal and for good reason the exhaust is designed to get carbon monoxide away from the occupants and dumping like that runs the risk of CO poisoning. this type of mod is just plain stupid and runs the risk of a darwin award nomination http://www.darwinawards.com/ so the choice is yours, do you feel lucky?

100% agree.

It also really annoys people at car shows/Show'n'Shines as they are usually held on an oval or field. Some clown with dumpies comes along revving his engine thinking all is good not thinking that his actions are causing all the freshly detailed cars already there are now getting covered in dust and dirt. Not a good way to make friends.

BLACKAUXR8 · 29-01-2008, 10:39 PM

Yes it's dangerous you can get flame's under the car and there is a chance of carbon monoxide poisoning but i learned from experiance that unless you have alot of money under your bonnet there is no gain in dumping the exaust at the diff. You'll loose power and stuff the underneath of you car from flames and the fact the fuel tank is right were your dumping it out. Yeah it sounds good. Mine was dumped when i bought it when i put the rest of the pipes on it improved sound and increased torque heaps. That's my opinion and it comes from experience.

Sorry, but I can't see anything this far back in the exhaust improving power. There would be no differance, but I do agree that dumping the exhaust at the diff isn't the best idea.

Elks · 29-01-2008, 10:57 PM

Although the std exhaust on the TS dumps to the ground back at the rear bumper. Sounds good in car parks...

BLACKAUXR8 · 29-01-2008, 11:46 PM

When i say you'll loose power what i meant was torque. The low down torque i gained when i put the tail pipes on was more then noticable in every day driving. The drone i had from the exaust echoing in around the diff coming back through the floor of the car could get annoying as well on long trips.
