Arrow Just to get off the topic at hand

Sorry to get off the track guys but has anyone got ideas for Cobra side pipes.



I'm currently running 2 1/2 perforated and have had some perforated cones for each end. The muffler is 3' long straight through.

The aim is to keep the noise down. Should I be running some type of spiral through the perforated tube to deflect the gases into the muffler material or will it flow OK straight through and be reasonably quite.

I ask this question as you guys are all focused on HP and we all know that type of thing takes some quitening down for the street.

I currently run 97dB but would like it down 2 or 3 dB. Thats the reason I placed the perforated cones in each end. The perforations/holes equal the 2 1/2 due to the cone rather than a straight plate in the pipe ends.

Make sense?

Any thoughts guys. What muffler material is the best. Steel mesh and glass or..

The pipes will be assembled and spray painted so will not be subject to coatings or chrome. You can see the pipes (black) on the gallery.

Sorry (not a Fairlane eng.) this is a 351 stroker to 377. Dart heads, Victor Jnr, Ice ign. Crowe Street/strip cam (no specs handy)

Thanks for any thoughts.

Cheers

Bernie
