OPEN headers...and working on your car at home ?????

Cool shots 426.... i enclosed some of mine,,,,it shows the dana, caltracs, rancho shocks and fuel pumps,,,,the fuel cell is in the trunk....

You've got plenty of room for a quick/dirty exhaust.  Buy some collectors (3.5"?), corresponding Dynomax Race Bullets (35.99/apiece!), and turndowns, then bolt them right to the headers.  It'll be quiet enough to not terribly disturb your neighbors, and you'll be out less than $100, too.  You could even just attach them with clamps, instead of welding the mufflers and pipe together!

Nick,,,,have you noticed an ET difference (ie open headers vs the dynomax race bulletts...)
Did you run any length of pipe IN FRONT of the mufflers ??
What you mention might be the way to go....I have a set of collectors for the headers already....

I'll be honest, I haven't gotten any good passes at the track since I installed the "exhaust".  It went 14.2 @ 105 spinning real badly, then the next pass I broke the axle... so I don't have any data for you.    However, several people on Moparts have run the Dynomax race bullets (including 440 Jim) and nobody's noticed an ET difference if they're sized properly.  I.E., 3.5" collector, buy the 3.5" mufflers, and you should be fine.

I have Collector extensions on my car (that I got from Ted), and another foot or so of pipe after that... so about 2' into the muffler, then the 22" body bullets, and turndowns... puts it right at the rear axle on a B-body.

If you were to attach them right to the collector, and bought the short case muffler, you should be able to get away without having to use a hanger or anything.  Like I said... nice and simple.

My stupid *&&*(^*()^&*%*(Y*(^&*%&^*)*&^&*(%(&*%) neighbors beotch constantly.   I've had that stupid wanker out in his yard yelling at me and threatening to call the cops

honestly the cheapest thing you could do is go around and ask your neighbours if they would mind.

I don't have the problem with open headers but I know my neighbors don't like the Charger or my Formula much at all even with full exhaust...  my guess is that they don't like me doing burnouts in the street either but nobody has actually come up to me and complained to my face yet 

I didn't like the neighbor on the other street trying to get his POS ferd pickup to run last year...  that guy couldn't get that thing to run and he didn't bother with the exhaust till he had it halfway driveable.    Thankfully the tune on the motor was so bad it didn't last that long 

Anyway,  do unto others, blah blah blah.   Consider exhaust with cutouts perhaps... like the TTI or accurate  max wedge stuff maybe.    It's your call.
