I concede...

...kinda.

Picked up a parts suburban today, for $100 I couldn't beat it.

The muffler is rusted through, along with most of the exhaust pipe, so it's esentially straight piped.

Now to the point of the thread:

It was fun to drive! The burbling and popping when you let off the gas, the thundering when you open that QuadraJet up, all the old ladies scowling at you when you go flying through the residential area... it was pretty cool.

I still prefer the quiet sophisticated performance of Flowmasters for a daily driver, but now I can really see where all the straight pipe and glass pack people are coming from. It might be fun to have on a weekend trail rig or something...

Was that 'muffler' and 'piped' as in singular????????? Oh well...at least with two vehicles now you have 2 pipes...hahahaha. Anyway...congrats on the burb...and that loud obnoxious sound will grow on ya, and you'll never wanna let it go.

 

[SuperCab]

'fraid so.

The obnoxity is growing on me though.

The motor is pretty shot, I just wanted it for any suburbany pieces I may need.

enjoy the rumble of an obnoxious vehicle. I would feel like a wimp having a quiet one now.

It's for parts...doesn't need a motor.


and as for the sound, I like the sound of a good exhaust system, but there is something about a straight piped v8 (modified or not) when you let off from full throttle, that makes me wanna giggle like a school girl

Whoops didnt see the parts.

Pretty sure you're right...but I believe the more common/street term for them is...junk.

Yeah, I was riding around with my pappaw and uncle in their 70's or 80's (not really sure..) Chevy 1500, regular cab, long bed, 350 with 4barrell,and automatic, with glasspack (yes that singular..)

They said "this truck has got some get up and go to it..." and stomped it to the floor at about 35ish, 5 seconds later we where doing about 47. (it didn't kick back to passing gear though, the linkage is messed up)

As much as I hate to say it, moms lumina gets up and runs faster than that truck...

 

[Truckin4life]

[SuperCab]

yeah, I wasn't really impressed with the quadrachit either...

Geeze-o-pete!!!, it accelerated 12 mph in 5 seconds??? That truck could be clocked at a drag strip with a sun dial!!!

I might not have even been going that fast...

We can blame it on the piece of plywood, 3-4 cinder blocks, and 5 or so gallons of water in the back though.
