I didn't mean semi permanently, I meant a 3 or 4 mile drive to see what it sounds like with the front half of the system only on it, just to get an idea where the drone is, and how nasty it sounds to see if straight thru muff would work, or if zi need more quiet. I live out in the country west of Phoenix,AZ. so I can drive around a bit without bothering anyone. The next test would be, install the back half with straight pipe in place of where the muffs go. Then I will have a better idea of what I need. All of this is easy, as I own a performance shop with a lift, wire and heliarc welders, plasma, etc. so it's just my free time, no cost to me. Then, I'll call up my muff wholesaler, and see if they have any 3" returned muffs to try before I buy.
I just posted to see what others like to save a bit of time, and get a direction first.
Since I we also have a complete H.P. engine machine shop, I got a bit more carried away with the engine build also. I started out building a fun high 11 second street/ mountain cruiser and am way past that now.....
If I can do things easily the first time I do, if not then everything turns into a major project! I may end up buying 10 sets of muffs and trying them all, then putting what I don't use in the swap meet pile! I guarantee that every muff I try will go on the flowbench first and the best will be tried on the car in the correct order. I was really trying to prevent that!
I have a performance timer on the car too, so a muff selection project may take weeks!!!
Here we go again!!!!!
