Hot Rods Out with the loud exhaust

FWIW my motorhome (498 ci BBC) came with side dump dual exhausts but no crossover communication side-to-side.
I disliked it. Standing on the side, you could only hear four cylinders. I added a crossover pipe and it mellowed out the sound and the mileage went from 8.5 mpg to 9.0 mpg. YRMV

 

I agree, loud is cool at first, but it gets old real fast.

 

I thought I had other pictures but this is it. Mike and Jim Barillaro do killer work. They are in Knoxville Tn for those that don’t know. Barillaro Speed Emporium.

 

Sweet, I'd bet that over the next few months you get a lot of compliments on how great it sounds from folks. You don't always have to be able to hear them from inside the car to have a great sounding set of pipes.

 

I just thought about this, the general public would look at us funny and think we were crazy the way we are oooohing and aaaahing over an exhaust system, but to us car guys this is a work of art.

 

The general public may consider me a lunatic, full of silly notions and information.
The feeling is mutual.

 

I bet that tiny human in the back seat likes the new exhaust.

 

Redhead Headers?

 

Thank you!

 

Agreed 1-3/4" max.

 

The Barillaro brothers are expert craftsman in all areas of hot rodding, Mike is especially adept at fabricating custom headers that's why I call him "The Exhaust Wizard".

 

with the headers and that size pipe, that X will do zero...but it's cool A/F so I would leave it,,,

You probley lost low end grunt, and killed the 60' time at the drags... but the cool factor pegs the needle... impressive job on the exhaust...for me.... I would add another V band and make a test pipe that fits where the muffler is.. then you could run straight pipe or mufflers at will...probley find it not all that loud with out mufflers... the shop made tips look perfect...

 

Ever since she was a baby she has loved riding in this car. More so than my others. Yes she doesn’t have to wear the ear muffs now with the quiet exhaust

 

The white headers were made from a 36 torque tube by Mike and Jim. They also built the stainless headers.

 

Definitely a good idea about the mufflers.

 

beings i own a custom exhaust shop in vegas.... this is the kind of well thought out exhaust system i like looking at....4 bolts and you can have the whole center section out and on the ground

 

There are people in fancy clothes who stand in art museums while ooohing @ aaaahing looking @ crap I wouldn't turn my head to . look at , ain't it grand we're not all the same ...

 

....Absolutely!

 

That looks great .

-Woogeroo

 

Sweet system! It's wise to have the center section removeable for future maintenance. Even though the 2 1/2" pipes may be a tad oversize for a flattie, there is still a little more back pressure, a.k.a. resistance of flow, than the straight side pipes, which helps, and I'll bet it sounds Bitchin'!

 

Back pressure is a myth. But that's a discussion for a different thread.

I keep checking in looking for a video update.

 

Barillaro’s are FIRST CLASS! I need to visit one day, I miss the contact.

 

I don’t have a YouTube channel so don’t know how I could get the videos of the sound on here.

 

Those Barillaro Brothers do VERY nice work. It looks great!!

 

I bet the x-pipe and overall pipe size are doing a lot of muffling and making the sound deeper on his setup. I bet if he changed the pipe size to something more optimal for power and no other changes the exhaust would wind up being a lot more obnoxious.

 

Hey James. Thanks for posting the pictures of the new headers and exhaust. We are stoked that you’re so pleased with the way it turned out and the performance. Looking forward to see how it does on some road trips this summer!
Thank you to all for the feedback and positive comments as well!
Jim

 

Pretty Pretty! It seems the rest of the car is on point too! Nice.

 

You don't need a channel as such, just an account. They may well be one and the same for all I know but opening an account is straightforward, as I remember it!

Hello,

The easiest way to post a video is to have a You Tube account. Which comes from a Google account. Go to the You Tube website and just follow these simple steps to get an account. Then the whole set up will allow you to post any video on your channel, then copy the by line and paste it on any thread. It is set up to be able to post to just about any website. After following the actions below, you will have a You Tube channel and all videos can be seen on your laptop, home computer, large screen TV You Tube channel, and yes, even on dinky screen of your phone.

Here is a step by step to get a phone camera or any photo/video posted on the HAMB. From 2024

A Google Account is the first step. good on you... a free Gmail address always comes in handy as they have some of the strongest anti-spam programming going for the general public. And, unlike yahoo, that blasts anyone’s account with tons of spam and crappy advertisements, Google is your friend.

Here is a step by step way that is simple and I have used it hundreds of times when a movie I have taken with my digital camera is uploaded to my laptop. From there, you have the basic starting point. Don't try to do this on a phone or tablet as it is too difficult to access that film you took and saved to your computer or laptop.

Also, edit your film first on your laptop as a clean film without non-sensical additions of a lady walking on a street is added to a film on a 32 roadster driving down the street. Easily edit or cut out those parts to make a clean moving movie. If you can remember, don't talk while filming or at least edit out the sounds. Unless, of course, you are filming a hot rod sound accelerating, etc.
This is the photo that is saved on my laptop, directly uploaded via a memory card from the camera.

Recently, I was going to make a film to go along with a story I was writing. So, to make it easy for anyone to use previously uploaded and saved film from anyone's computer files, I made a simple step by step, as to what shows up and what to select for a You Tube video. The finished product can be copied and posted on any website, direct email to anyone, or saving the link on your phone, tablet or laptop for viewing anytime, anywhere.

You Tube is rather simple. Back in the 2015 days, I had no clue as to what to do. So, I plodded along with a scrap film I had saved. I had to create a channel first. J NAKI so, now I can follow the simple instructions step by step on the screen.

Once you have created your page, then click on the red highlighted box +. That goes to the next screen to up load your film file saved from your files in MP3 or mp4 style. Those are best to save and use.

Now, you are ready to upload your saved film.

This screen shows the next step. Select your film from your files and copy/drag it to the arrow screen and it will start to upload to their studio files.

If it is not an approved movie file, MP4, as you try to upload it, the screen will tell you it is an invalid file. Make sure it is a MP4 file.

This new screen is important. If you check "not for kids," then the process moves on to the next screen, if you check Yes it is for kids, then it is another whole set of screens, etc. Just check not for kids and everyone can see it finished. I also made my own thumbnail photo, instead of a You Tube generated thumbnail.

Once the film is edited on your computer and it is ready, save with a specific title. For sample sake, this one is labeled “Chevy Truck to Finish.” In reality, it certainly looked finished up close. Another section calls for a thumbnail that will be the visual description of your film on any website or your You Tube channel.

They automatically find several shots and you select one. Or, you can save your own photo, but make sure it is smaller than 2mb so it can qualify as a custom thumbnail photo. (most digital cameras are shooting in over 6 mb-20mb+ per photo. Most phones also shoot in 5-10mb.)

The action you do on the screen pops up another screen telling you of the progress. And/or some type of violation with copyright, like adding music from a popular source, etc. Since most of my films are taken in a silent mode, there is no commercial music added, nor would I want one. It just detracts from the action. Who wants to watch a drag racing video with smooth jazz playing in the background? Or even rock music of sorts? This is where the copyright problems start.

If you want people to see the saved video anytime, then check “Public.” Otherwise no one can see it publicly. Now, the You Tube search feature we all use to find a video comes into play.

When it is all checked correctly, then this final screen pops up. We do not use any of those links, so, we click close. But we know it is published in our studio parameters.

Jnaki

The final screen pops up to show you where your video is located. Now, open the film and copy the top information box.

The last screen to check is your channel home screen.

Click on the video you want to watch. Once it comes on your laptop screen, then copy the HTTPs// address.

Now, you can past the link on any website, a direct email to someone or some company to clarify some action. Once posted, it is available for anyone to see directly or it will be located on your You Tube channel.

The fun part is that we all have access to the You Tube channel streaming services. So, on your large tv screen, call up your home streaming channels and select You Tube. In the search, type in your You Tube channel name. A large screen with quality sound makes viewing on a really large monitor wonderful. It is almost like being at the drags in person. Sound? Turn up your volume or external speakers for a wonderful presentation.

Note: Now that it is on your You Tube channel, where ever you go, you have access to it via a tablet, puny phone screen or a friend's huge wall monitor in his/her viewing room.
Sample:

When you make your video, copy the top information title:

Copy and paste it to a Word Document. It will post cleanly and now, you can identify the link and right click your mouse to get “copy hyperlink” you are ready to post to a thread.

When you paste and then right click on the address, you will get this pop up. go to "copy hyperlink" and copy that choice. Now, you can paste that copied hyperlink on any thread as part of your typing of the story presented.

The thread shows the link, but not the video, as yet. When your finally click on "post reply," then as it gets posted to the HAMB thread, the screen fills up with the actual video with an arrow to view the film.

This bit of information is the one you can post on any website that allows video links to be posted.

Now, you are an official You Tube creator. YRMV

Play the Junior Thompson video. I filmed it in silent mode back in 1959. I found the original
Jr. Thompson Studebaker sound on my own LP album from 1959. I digitally copied and pasted it as a soundtrack, matching the film I created. Now, the "Sound" version is a lot more fun to watch.


GOOD LUCK and PM me if any additional information is needed.


Note: on another thread, someone also wanted to post a video to the HAMB thread. So, @Mitchell Rish
this post is for your bit of information to set up and post on the HAMB.

 

I will give it a shot may be a few days when I get some time but why not. Thanks. Slowly moving into the modern era lol
