Changing to powersticks? chambered

[Speeddemon13]

Right now my exhaust consists of stock headers and then idk if i have the resonator on there anymore or not but i think its off and then the CAT then h pipe then 2 cherry bomb pro mufflers going straight out the back in true duals...i was wondering how much different it would sound if i changed them out and put in the powersticks in place of the mufflers....the powersticks dont have the popping noise do they? also since they are free flowing will i lose power or will it work just fine? please help

The difference tween the glass packs and the all steel Powersticks is night and day.
TRUE,free flowing exhaust systems pop occasionally.
Its the nature of the beast.
Only time my exhaust pops is when the motor isn't warmed to temp and I let off and then get on the gas real quick.
I dont romp on a cold motor,I just ease around till its over 100*F
Its rare but it does happen.

After its warm there is none of that slobbering,gurgling,raspy,pinging annoyance common with other systems.

Get under there and see what can and can not be removed(cats etc) figure in 26" of muffler length and the rest is pipe to
where ever you want your pipes to end,mine are dumped over the axle and tucked out of sight.

Awesome, thats exactly what I wanted to hear, but if I want a deep throaty roaring sound on my tundra what size should I get? I want a loud idle that just sounds beastly when you start up your truck...also what is up with the whole reversing thing to make it louder? how much louder does this make it and is it a good louder?

Call me stupid but I never heard of powersticks. Who makes them? Are they a modern version of a glasspack? Any interior resonance?

[Negra]

Nothing really modern about them,the original Walker*design is over 40 years old.
Some improvements have been made but the overall design is unchanged.

Use the search feature and you'll find plenty of info on the Classic Chamber mufflers.(PowerSticks)

People are selling the mufflers I have on my truck right now from 50-100 brand new, how much do you think I could get if I got mine cut off and sold them on ebay, still in good condition and only used for about 2 months? Cherry Bomb Pro's

[Negra]

I would try a Local Sale/Local pick-up thru Craigs list* before ebay.
You can figure on getting half of what you paid,the added shipping charges will lower the recovered amount to something like $25-$30 each when its all said and done.

Speeddemon13,
if you are trying to make your exhaust loud so people will notice you then just cut the damn mufflers out and run straight pipes from the cats back...that will give you your "sounds beastly when you start up your truck" sound you're looking for and definitely get you noticed around town...plus you won't have to worry about buying and selling anymore mufflers


EDIT: sorry man I didn't see your other thread about having to pass inspections and everything

[Speeddemon13]

haha its all good AGR, it was a good idea at first.. I have thought about doing all that but I just want a clean roar. I called a local exhaust place and he said about $30/side for welding and cutting the mufflers, not too bad, now I just got to find a way to sell these

Nope - BAD idea. Running straight pipes eliminates an expansion area for the exhaust, & your engine temp will go up, & you will lose HP & torque. The Dodge Boys tried this on a test Viper a few years ago at engineering to see what would happen, & the engine temp rose about 30^ & they lost HP. They then cut into the system & put on a pair of Super Turbos & the car came back into normal operating range in both temperature & HP/Torque.

Powersticks are very different than glasspacks, & have different tuning (sound) dynamics than anything on the market. The crimp pattern I use in them is also different than other "chambered exhaust" mufflers, also the flowpaths are much larger than other chambered mufflers. It's true that real chambered exhaust is not "new" technology, but mine are very different & unique, which would make them "new."

what is your website so I can look and compare you to the others?
