Anyone ever put a "rice" type exhaust on their diesel? and how did it sound
I've heard quite a few diesels driving around with these large bore universal backboxes, it does make it louder, creating what can only be described as a very deep burble. Don't expect the 10HP power gain they promise though!
Just buy a cherry bomb and a set of ear plugs at the same time
I looked at these also as possibilities for my TD.. but in the end for my 2100 mile trip last week I just ran open straight 2.5" exhaust..
a 180* bend and angled down with a turned down tip so the sound/exhaust has to reflect off the ground/road
it wasn't too obnoxious.. not even driving thru sleepy towns @ 10pm.. was raining though.. :wink:
certainly had to sound like a bat outta hell when I was trying to make my train (autotrain) and pushing down the orlando I95 @ near redline(4500rpm) and indicated 80-85 on my speedo.. (195-75-14 tires) :?:
all i know is I passed the majority of I95 cars on a saturday afternoon (sure a few still passed me) and some high end cars/SUVs seem to take it personally when a spotted (rusty) tan VW camper SCREAMS past them in the fast lane. :shock:
1600ccs of Diesel pounding FURY :twisted:
made the train cut off by skin of my teeth, but wasn't last car there either.. :roll:
Ahh the old I95 , used to live down in florida so i traveled that highway often. I dont want it loud, i kinda want it to sound like a Honda rice burner, not a mustang
you wan tit to sound like a ricer?
:shock: Thats a first. :lol:
yea, You guys think that muffler will help with that sound?
