Dual exhaust!!!!

:santaclaus:


Well the horrificly loud wastegate had to go. I knew that before i even put the turbo on.
Towed the tahoe home and it got old fast!!

Went by the exhaust shop and showed the guy what i was plannin on doin. 2 min he had the 1.75" pipe bent and got a peice of 2" and made me a turn down. He threw in a muffler for free. I got out of there for $20.

Welded it on last night and used a stock hanger on the center support cross member.

Lets just say this thing is silly quiet!!
5.2# boost and the turbo is barely workin so you can hear the compressor a lil.
Perfect, just what i wanted.

Why not dump it into the normal exhaust downstream?

 

[Nonnieselman]

That would be alot more volume trying to get stuffed thru the stock catback.

$20...well worth it. How's the sound difference now?

 

[Nonnieselman]

There is no sound

Its dead quiet.. :nowai:

It took me from 3AM to 8AM to get most of it done.. and woke up at lunch. started at it again and by 5pm i was riding around in it.

all the more better for us...

My altenator is loud and has a whine to it. Along with my transmission.
So between those two the turbo is silent on 5#.
You can hear the alt when it shifts, kinda carries on since it has a clutch/sprag setup in it.
