Want drone-free axle back for ARH or Kooks long tube systems

[Mike P]

On the real....Rick Crawford Motorsports has being doing a great job modding my G8 this week....he's a perfectionist and explains everything he plans to do in detail until you clearly understand why it's done that way. I couldn't have ask for a better G8 battle buddy.....

Sounds cool, I wish I was hanging out in North Carolina with you 2 cats!

Nice!

I'm going to add j-pipes to my Violators.

How can you do that George?

Get two J bends, cut a hole in the pipe before the muffler and weld them in.
I happen to have a box of SS mandrel bent J bends.
...and not that Magnaflow 404 crap.

Hey Ray, take Paypal? I could use two J bends.

I'm wondering if it's important for the j-bend to be in the pipe before the muffler as opposed to being in the body of the muffler like Rick Crawford's? A 90 degree J bend is easier to fit than a 180.

The stock GXP mufflers are louder than the stock GT mufflers but they aren't too loud. I rode in a gxp with headers and the stock axlebacks and it sounds mean under throttle but when he is cruising it is pretty quiet. I think there is someone trying to sell a pair in the for sale section

Personally I think the GXP mufflers on a gt with headers sound like shit. It is very raspy. I prefer more of the flowmaster sound myself.

Patrick: Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. What did your car dyno now with the headers?

This is what I was wondering too. That's why I asked. I didn't know if you were cutting into the muffler or not.

I think the reason he added the tube to the muff was that with that muffler, you didn't have to worry about packing material.

I only used before the muffler as an example since most designs were already that way.
It will be a couple months before I can get the shop completed and testing a different design.
