creeping death

i see some peeps put extensions on the pipe tips. i assume this is to keep fuel off the truck...this will not affect performance, right?

03 DSG Snake

Is that the one on eBay? Looks like they're claiming a performance inscrease...

Might be interested for my Savage

It's an exhaust diverter. I use them on my airplane engines also. I've never seen a performance decrease with them. I buy them at the LHS. A few bucks each I think.

03 DSG Snake

So basically keeps the fuel off the frame and dumps it in the back, and looks pretty at the same time?

Any change in engine tone?

creeping death

yea, i might get one if it don't hamper performance...the less fuel on the rig the better.

Yes...it's easy to install with zip ties and you can rotate it any way you want to.

03 DSG Snake

This is the exhaust I was talking about:
Dudes have em all over eBay, dunno if they custom make em or if there is a manufacturer out there that does it.

Whoa....that is unique! I've never seen one of those. It looks like plumbing you would see in a house made of copper....except the one in the picture is purple.

How much do they sell for?

03 DSG Snake

They're going for around $25-$35 on eBay.
Just found this one right now:


Quad exhaust with some sort of chrome plating. Ive also seen the same seller list the pipes in red, black, purple, chrome, maybe some other colors too

I'd swear that those are made from copper fittings! I wonder if they are? If so....that would make them a little heavy.

SonMan

I saw a heli with a little bit of fuel tubing coming off of the exhaust. I guess I know what that was for now! I wonder if that might be a good alternative to buying something potentially expensive?

If anything it makes mine a little bit more quiet. I kind of aim it down, it wears out after a while but as CMO said, theyre omly a couple bucks. Makes clean up easier IMO.

Thats a dual exhaust,the other is a quad.
Don't know how well they work.I read you lose back pressure and are kinda loud.

The Exhaust deverter is pretty good for keeping the truck clean but just remember that if it gets any longer than 4 inches, you will start to loose power. you are safe if your under 4 inches. just a reminder.

LandShark

i will definitely get one, i have to clean the oil off my chassis after each run

LandShark

another thing is that the savage is too loud, i got kicked out

when i was playing it in Golden Gate park.

maybe it was running extremely rich, will it getting quiet after

i lean it?

or maby i need a silencer?

Those pipes are made from copper fittings.

I noticed some have expansion chambers and some don't.

I think I would prefer the expansion chamber but I wonder if there is any performance gain?

I am going to try and make my own once my savage gets here, maybe even have it chrome plated at a local plating shop if it works well.

wenglish14

Sorry for the dual reply, but I just figured out how to post a picture.
Here is the pipe with an expansion chamber on it.
From here you can tell it is copper that was soldered together and polished.

Look good but would look better chrome plated.

creeping death

what is the best exhaust set up for the savage so far...any guesses people?

03 DSG Snake

I'd say the one with the expansion chamber as it will give you the pressure going back to the fuel tank. Does the one without the chamber get rid of that line?

Whats the total length of the exhaust? I read here too long (around 4") will hurt performance?

LandShark

03 DSG Snake
maybe you were talking about "exhsust diverter"

an exhaust diverter longer than 4" will hurt performance

creeping death

well, i'm talking about the best exhaust from any maker...not just the roto-rooter exhaust...lol!

wenglish14

I would have to think the one with the expansion chamber would be better.

03 DSG Snake - if you look at the photo you posted of the quad exhaust there is a small diameter piece of tubing going through the top of the shock tower, I believe this is the pressure line for the fuel tank.

I'm not sure about performance but for the cost of some copper fittings its worth a shot to try it, plus it looks pretty cool.

I have heard that with those new dual pipes you lose alot of power.. but if you want you truck to sound awesome and loud...get the t-maxx stinger kit, it is a rear exhaust system that is made by MIP... i wanted my truck louder the stock was way to quite so i put the stinger on and man it is loud now, these pipes are made to sound like a two stroke engine... and i got a huge power increase with this pipe...
later

i prefer a quiet pipe. i got kicked out when i was running my savage in park. they let me turn it down, i told them i couldnt.
then i had to leave
