Episode 10: Maniflow Exhaust System Part1

After many many years of use and abuse, the time has come to replace my falcon stainless exhaust system with something less dented bent battered, and brused. The muffler is dented halfway in, all the exhaust joints leak. Since it was guaranteed for as long as my dad owned the car and he no longer owns it, the warrenty means nothing.

Instead I will be replacing it with a long center branch header and single box mild street system from maniflow. The system is slightly larger in diameter than stock and features a glass pack muffler.

For sake of durability and increased horsepower, I am having it ceramic coated.

I purchased header part number EXL9 and exhaust system ESO31 here

I had it ceramic coated at Vanilla Gorilla Coating Systems

Its sad that you never had a chance debating me. I'm a few notches ahead, always. You can only pretend, in order to compete. I now feel empowered that I would beat you in any philisophical debate. But you'd never get that. You couldn't could you? :D

[JonessGarage]

I don't debate trolls. Specially not you. You're already dead and buried as far as i'm concerned. You never were able to counter andy of my arguments. Besides. Look who still has all their videos up. You took yours all down except for soft core porn and one pathetic anti islam vid. Quit playing black knight and trying to bite my legs off. You havent got any limbs left to hurt me with. I am making certain that everyone STILL knows what a loser you are. Go crawl into a hole somewhere+hide

hey man, just wondering if it would work with out too much power loss to just cut my muffler off my midget so i could get some more noise out of it. i dont want to do anything unless i know that the engine doesn't need a certain amount of back pressure* it looked like your muffler was pretty strait through*

[JonessGarage]

well the best way to get horsepower is to have no muffler at all. I have read that an sudden increase in a pipes diamter will cause backpressure because diameter is somehow related to velocity. If the diameter of the pipes is too big and you haven't tuned the engine to require the extra exhaust capacity, you will lose power rather than gain it. My maniflow system is slightly oversize at 1.5"

I have also driven the car without a muffler, it is loud, but sounds awesome (to me anyway)

[JonessGarage]

Some states have noise laws so you probably need something that will give at least some reduction in noise. Preferably mre than say a race muffler for example.

I suppose you could open up a standard muffler and remove the baffles, but this might actually add backpressure because of the sudden and extreeme change in diameter. It would be better to get a piece of exhaust pipe the same size as the inlet, perforate it with a drill. . .

[JonessGarage]

Then weld this pipe between the inlet and the exhaust and use a glasspcck repacking kit to fill up the space around the perfprated pipe.  Finally weld up the hole. Congradulations youve just made your own straight through muffler!

I know the owner of maniflow,david is a legend

[JonessGarage]

I wish I could. I really do. Money is very tight right now. I could barely afford this exhaust.  being unemployed sucks.
