Default Exhaust

Has anyone tryed to take the round manifold and drill a hole and put a nipple there for the fuel pressure and running no muffler? I have a feeling the exhaust hole would be to big and it wouldnt allow enough exhaust to push the fuel in the motor.

Not sure if it would work but i know my muffler fell off the other day and i like the way it sounded. It was loud!!

Here is a very rough sketch i just did in paint of what i am talking about.

I will try it but i wanted to see if anyone else has tryed it. I think it may work but you would have to squeeze the outlet a bit so it restricts some air for the fuel line.

thats what im thinking also, but if you squeeze the end to restrict the flow it might be just enough. i might just have to order one really fast.

You might have a lot of fun if you put a tube into the header at that point because there are actually flames there............if you do that please vidio your test runs, might be interesting

No it wont work. The Car might run, but you'll Never tune it.
The Pipe is like a Resovoir of pressure. It keeps the pressure on your gas Tank RELATIVELY constant, (approx 6 psi) even at low rpm.
If you remove the pipe and tapped the header, you would get wildly Fluctuating pressure. Probably NO pressure at all at lower RPM.
Not to mention that they dont call em TUNED pipes for no reason. lol

correct, it probably wont work, not to mention the temp of the air and flames that are in the manifold.
