My "Official" Stepside Restoration Thread and LS Swap 2021

Overview Gallery Discussion
update!

I'm back now after a winter spent at sea in the carribean. So now back to the continuous modding of the truck.

The next mod on is sitting in the garage and will look something like this:

ok so in doing some mockup of the traction bar, it turns out that I will have to completely redo my exhaust in order to have it fit. Since I dont have the money to redo the exhaust, the track bar will have to wait.

So instead today I finally installed the heavy duty ORD front shackles which I should have done a long time ago. Now the springs aren't so close to the frame and hopefully the tires wont hit the fenders as bad but we'll see when I flex it out.

I'm running Pypes Performance Violator Mufflers. These things are pretty much just a chamber glass pack but built much better. They are the best flowing muffler on the market, I'll put it this way, I can see daylight when I look through the muffler.

But that video was taken before I put my H-pipe on which smoothed out some of the crackly sound you here and some of that is my ****ty camera too. But I can promise you on thing these mufflers turn heads and I get compliments on how awsome it sounds everywhere I go.

I need to take a new video a feet further back to get the full effect of it.
 
Thanks. Something like that might work for me, but I have to route it around the NP203's big backend.

Only thing that scares me about glasspacks is the low backpressure, and I hate that firecracker sound most of them have. Yours doesnt seem to have that sound, but I dont know if its the camera not picking it up possibly, but if you think they sound really nice without that firecracker sound SIGN ME UP!!! :woot:
 
You don't need back pressure. You want zero, none, nada, zilch. Back pressure is bad in any amount.

There's an urban "car guy" myth that you need back pressure in some amount. You don't.

Scavenging is each exhaust pulse pulling the one behind it out the tailpipe. You want that. Go too wide on the pipe and you can lose scavenging.
People mistake the two and mix them up.
 
Diesels like no back pressure, I.C.E. need, in a far from perfect system, back pressure to help the exhaust pulses scavange the burnt gasses from the non firing ports/ tubes in that exhaust cycle, to get them the fock outta the system. or something along those lines. Too little or too much back pressure is a bad thing.
 
False. I've heard that over and over again and everywhere from Marlin Davis in Hot Rod to car guys who've built engines and cars for decades have told me scavenging yes, backpressure no.
