buckshot racefab side pipes

[Ron Roberts]

A quick response to Gary Osborn's and Carmine's posts:

The pipes on Gary's and Carmine's cars were manufactured by my supplier and shipped to their locations. These are Firefly Performance Pipes and are the original design not just another copy.

Gary and Carmine, thanks for your compliments and bussiness,

Ron

I put the Buckshot Racefab side pipes on Superformance 2040 with Roush 427R-095(small block 427).

Dyno at wheels, corrected
Roush 427R-095, Buckshot Racefab Sidepipes, Pro-systems carb, Olthoff headers, 1/2 fuel line, mechanical fuel pump.

When I set out to get new side pipes the goal was more power and maybe some good looks too. The side pipes look pretty good. Along with the side pipes I changed headers, air filter, carb and fuel delivery. All together it added about 75 wheel HP and put the car into 130+ mph trap speed with easy start 10 second passes.

As to the account of obtaining the side pipes I knew when I started a Cobra is a custom application. I went with the two piece side pipe with 3 inch louvered core. I was willing to take some time to end up with my desires. I'm reasonably sure Dean Beatty did my pipes in the end after a few things were changed. The visible welds are very nice. Dean seems to be an old school drag racer with the desire to make things better. Good guy all around, and he understood what I wanted and made sure it ended up correct. It took some time, but I was satisfied in the end.

Oh, as to cleaning here's what I did for about 7,000 miles. Wipe them off with damp microfiber when pipes are cool. I also gave them a bath in CLR twice. It takes away some of the darker gold color the pipes take on. I never drove in rain, so they stayed pretty nice.

That was a year ago. $4.05 here today in Houston. Spent $105 this morning filling my F250 hog.

740AM for Rush

and no. no room left unless her stuff gets thrown out.

Got to go, driving my overpriced "kit" car to Meineke for new side mufflers.

godzilla,
I did let it go and you attacked me so...you remind me of the guys at the track that challenge a persons car and ask to have their motor torn down to see if it is legal. Let me rephrase myself and please refer to post 18. If you have any further questions refer to post 18 again. I do not get upset so that is not an issue and this just makes me wonder how people coexist in society? Once again have a nice day and I will be busy organizing all my shoes tonight so don't bother me.

Let if go NOW then...

Good grief, it's like discussing side pipes with a bunch of old grey women.
