F8L GT Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Decided to try something a little different. I sold my Bassani mufflers and I am going with a 2 chamber design. Only problem is I hate 2 chamber mufflers with O/R X pipes. So I am converting my x to a chambered design almost like a prochamber. After some fiddling on the computer with designs, I will be adding some baffles inside. The theory is to try and equalize the exhaust pulses and help scavenging. Whether it will work or not I wont know till the end but it should sound way better than an O/R X. My x2.5" stainless exhaust tubingTubing cut in half and test fittedTest fitting bottom plateused the plasma to cut some of the old x out, getting ready to tack new sides in placeSides tacked in place and also removed part of the mid that will be in the chamber, will cut other side off once top plate is welded onTop plate tacked in place. Once I get the top plate welded in place, I can make the end caps, weld them in, then make my baffles and install the bottom plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Pretty nice work, for some reason I love seeing custom fabbing on exhaust.I used to have a prochamber and didn't care for the sound, so it was gone in a couple months when I cut out the prochamber box and a universal X was welded in its place. Yours might have a pretty cool sound to it, I'll be interested to see what you end up with :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 threw the flow tubeon and the mufflers last night. so far I like it more than the bassani's I had. The car has a deep rumble at idle and low rev. Not sure how its going to be under load or higher rpms. I will make a vid within the next couple days.

F8L GT Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I added exhaust hangers onto the mid connecting to the ds loop. Also got the hangers welded into the mufflers I have since opened up the mufflers and modified the baffles a little to make them flew a touch better since the mid is chambered. I can't leave anything aloneGot my u bend for making the turn outs and the clamps for the mufflers. Sent from my LG-AS680 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRPVinyl Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Question though, how warmed up was the car when you tested it? Engine and exhaust cold, maybe be dumping fuel and backfiring a little bit causing the cracking sound. That can be the one draw back to custom fabbing doesn't always sound they way you hopedMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Oh I know doesn't help it was cold either. I already had it running before I painted it. But it will get the job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
