Hey H-t. i recently got straight piped. (just took the can off) and now its just a straight through 2.5 inch pipe all the way through. can this cause me to warp the valve due to cold air coming in after i shut off the car?

 

no lol and last i checked georgia wasnt in the arctic circle

 

haha. well. in comparison to engine temps. outside air is pretty cool.

 

Yes, be sure to put a potato up the tail pipe after running hard.

no, j/k

 

soo. just to recap. when running straight pipes i have nothing to worry about?

 

you might get a headache from all the noise but other than that no

 

alright. awsome.

 

And anyone behind you will be cussing your @$$ because of all the fumes and noxious gasses.

Sorry but I would never run a straight pipe on a street car, ever. IMHO it's just irresponsible any way you look at it.

 

I can see that. But i dont think its a problem

 

dont they have noise limits in ga i know they do here in mississippi i use to get stoped in my old shop car on the way to the track all the time for it

 

I think so. But i havent been stopped yet. Haha

 

Str8 pipes? whats is this an entry for the demo derby at the fairgrounds? i know your from GA but you cant be that much of a hillbilly!! lol j/k !!!! but for real tho that cant sound good at all.....

 

Haha. Nahh. Not even white man. And ahh.. Its loud as ****. Haha. But its all good. I dont mind. I think its badass.. Maybe i am a hillbilly. Lmao

 

Fro your wild *** hell!!! the color of your skin doesnt make you a hillbilly (im black and i know a lot of black hillrods in my area!! lol) that str8 pipe is definitely makin you suspect tho.......im just sayin

 

You jinxed me bro.. I got pulled over about an hour ago cuz of my straight pipes... . No ticket. But im gonna pack steel wool in the exhaust and see how that works out

 

Dont mean to bump my own thread but i forgot to mention im running a test pipe as well. Ive been noticing that when i engine break the car fires. Like. It kind of sounds different for a split second. Its hard to explain. But i feel like something is going on.. Anybody else wanna chime in?

 

Ill try to get a video of the car doing it. Im afraid i have slowly warped the valves just enough to let the combustion ignite while im engine breaking or something like that. Haha

 

Basically. Is there any truth to the myth that not having back preassure will cause valves to fail?



:facepalm: i should have just put that as my OP

 

Bumptity bump

 

WHISTLE TIPS GO WHOOOOOP WHHOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

Opposite end of the spectrum.

 

it could be possible if you have a giant pipe running to headers if you live in the arctic circle or something haha..

 

It would be fine, but it is bad for the atmosphere bypassing or ''deleting'' the catalytic converter, but who am I to judge.

 

I've been watching this video for years...for those of you HT'ers that have not seen it. Its just amazing.

Bub Rub "got da woo woo for da woo woo"

 

You would get beet up by cops here in c.a for that pipe lol! i was cruzing with a s2000 that had his ex straight pipe heat wraped and that sucker was stupid loud! a lil unessasary imo.

you can hear it miss when i downshift.

i told a co worker at mcdonalds the problem i was having and because he went to auto diesel school in nashville he said that maybe i was floating valves due to carbon build up.. im a little skeptical of that.. but i plan to get some seafoam anyways.

what do you guys think?


ohh he also went on a BS rant and said that downshifting streches the timing belt and cause pre ignition creating pits on the top of the piston lowering compression.. i just couldnt wrap my head around all that bullshit. haha.
