Found a really good piece of truck chrome or stainless stacks around this truck shop.
Thinking about getting rid of muffler and strait piping, what you think Clifford.
Matt,
In Gillette WY headed, to Rawlins and Baggs.

That is your call cowboy, I had bought a Aero muffler for the bus but never got around to installing it and sold it to Wayne 3 or 4 years ago going to be a little loud with a straight pipe I would think
good luck
-
So do you think that the aero muffler is what it claims and Worth the money.
Matt
-
I think the Aero would be alright I buy those from a pickup after market place in Houston forgot the name but they weren't all that bad on the prices for Aero lol anything is going to be cheaper than the muffler that is there now I passed out when I got the bill for that one years ago
good luck
-
Think i will check into them more, probably be better than a strait pipe , or i could try the strait first, then do the areo if it s to loud, what size pipe is on this bus without me having to go measure.

good luck

ALLRIGHT, i could maybe hear it a little bit , i am little hard of hearing anyway, ran lot of strait pipe equipment back in the day.

Is it just me? That didn't sound all that bad.
I was thrown out of bed, literally, one morning when the 8V92 next to me left the park. That thing must have had an amplifier hooked up to it I kid you not. He lit'er off and was moving in the same breath and gone in seconds. Must have been sitting there with the block heater on for a couple hours to get that kind of performance from a fresh start engine. Now had he sat there and gunned the engine for a few minutes I might still be serving time.

Dallas had a video of huggy leaving NC Bob's and it was down hill.

The 8v71 n/a with duals and straight pipes are loud way lot louder than a 8v92TA,a Eagle member Dossey has 4 straight pipes on his 8v71 in his Eagle you can hear that one when he leaves Ashdown AR if you are in Houston lol
good luck
-
That video does not do the sound justice, you would had to be there to really enjoy it. You could hear him for quite a while. He was quite an engineer and friendly guy.
-
Too loud for me.
-
I am thinking im going to try it, can always stick the aero muffler on, people in Wyoming wont even notice the noise what with all the bikers going thru.

If you install stacks on your bus I'll never talk to you again LOL
good luck

You'll grow tired of the loud exhaust quickly and your neighbors will not appreciate it either. Donaldson makes turbo mufflers that still let some sound through but are pretty quiet. I have a 5" oval with inlet and outlet on the same end. You look inside, and it only has one baffle. Yet it does a good job of muffling without scrificing power. Good Luck, TomC

Won't matter if you talk to him or not; you wouldn't be able to hear each other anyway.
-
Keep in mind that a lot of places won't let you use your jakes unless you have mufflers.
-
Don't worry Clifford i would never put stacks on, as far as bothering the neighbors, that would just be me getting even.
-
I could just see you polishin them stacks! :D ;D Clifford if you give Matt the exh tip just polish the corner lol!
-
Van you still have the video of when we fired Jim's 8v92 off without a muffler that may change Matt's mind lol
good luck
-
I got it around here somewhere, I'll have to look. I think stacks look cool but not on mine, besides I'm an open header kind a guy myself lol, which makes me deaf already ;D maybe some 5" fishy tails stickin out back might interest me though. :o ;D

One word is all it takes to describe/explain an un-muffled Detroit,... EXTREME!
