PIPES!!

#1

Post by TINBASHER »

I don't know if any of you know about this, but that horizontal four actually sounds pretty sweet running through straight pipes. I want to do that to mine, but I want to make sure I run it through a big enough pipe so it's not quite so loud but still rumbles. Of course, I want the ol' girl to be able to breathe well too. Any ideas? 8) [/b]

Hey Tinbasher;
You do need to have back pressure to run properly so complete straight pipes are not a good idea, atleast two baffles will give you enough back pressure here are some drag pipes for the GL's

as well as two of our parts gurus here BIG T, and FRENCHY
Hope this helps
