BansheeBoy347 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Im going to be putting a 4sp in my mud truck sometime this week and Im wanting to run stacks out the hood because I have like 4 grand in the 327 motor. So the last thing I want to do is pull some water in it. The motor is sittin on a 1 ton frame and runnin gear but has a s15 body sitting over it. So it has very little room and wondered if I could get some block hugger headers and turn them up. And its loud as hell with longtubes but its better to tolerate some noise than screw up a motor.

Nieskes Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Your more worried about "pulling" water in your exhaust than your intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBoy347 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Its gonna take a big ass hole of water to get up to the carb. Its lifted 8in and is up about 4ft off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBoy347 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 If I run the an exhaust under the truck that would be risky because I will be going through some deep holes and the exhaust would be under the water. And you never know what might happen and it shut off there goes the motor. And if I run it through the hood problem sovled. I know I wont be in mudholes plum up to the motor that would be stupid.

gotta_goatsfast Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Why don't you run the long tubes and pipe under the truck and bring it back up through the bed? You're leaving a lot of power on the table by running block huggers vs. a tuned long tube header. It would also be quieter than either open headers.

BansheeBoy347 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 The truck currently has a wooden bed but I will be gettin a steel bed put on it later. And I will run the stacks through the bed when I put in on but for the meantime I was just wanting to put them on there so I dont screw my motor up. And as far as power goes I dont think I miss much with the change for a bit. The truck currently has 450hp and i dont think I will miss much of it. I can get a cheap set of block hugger for 75 bucks just to throw on there until I can get my steel bed made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
