Hi all!
Please bear with me, I am learning all this stuff...Poor Hubby and Dad, I have taxed their brains too often...LOL.
I am wondering...on the Greeves MCS she runs like a pro with the Blooie Pipe or Megaphone exhaust (though it does cause the large Newfounland to go bonkers and chase and bite at the tires, I am sure her eardrums vibrate as do us humans within 5 miles of the ole gal ).
We do have an aftermarket up pipe with an early form of "baffling" or oiled mesh like fiber...point...the Greeves doesn't run properly at all with the aftermarket mystery make exhaust IF the baffling is in...she will run very rich in the mid range and just sounds off...I believe the sound is referred to as 4 or 8 stroking??
Now, if we remove the baffling..she runs as good as she does with the megaphone...from reading the above posts I am assuming that the removal of the baffling undoes the "expasion chamber" effect. Am I correct in that?
Now, without the baffling, might as well run the megaphone exhaust as the noise is very close to the same level.
Another note...from running the "high" pipe or aftermarket, you leg tends to lean/rub on it, there is a metal mesh for heat protection of the leg....HOWEVER, just a few weeks ago the pressure from our leg on the high pipe caused one of the studs from the (remember, please be patient and bear with me..I am sure I am not going to use the right part name here) exhaust port on the barrel to break! Fortunately for us...Frank had a bolt that fit, we just ground the head off the bolt, then heated up the barrel very slowly and the old stud screwed right out.
I would love any and all feedback on another form of aftermarket exhaust that would be suitable...would love to see a wassel on her, but haven't seen one that would work, even with modifications. Really...I am all for the megaphone, BUT Hubby thinks it rude even during the day.
Please, jump in and correct my erroneous terms...I need all the help I can get!
Thanks guys!
