Exhaust Systems- what are you running?

[Timmy390]

This is ture. It is Bernoulli's Law. A given volume of gas travelling through a smaller diameter tube will flow faster than the same volume of gas through a larger tube. Boyle's Law states that a given volume of gas at a given temperature has a given pressure and as the temperature decreases, the volume decreases if the pressure stays constant. So lower volume (because it is cooler) in the same size tubing = slower flow. Reducing the diameter of the pipe increases the gas veolcity and actually deacreases the pressure slightly (Bernoulli again).

I love science.

I have been running Duffs long tube coated headers into a Duffs dual system for 13 years now, they were originally on a 302 but I went EFI 351 last year . They came with cherry bombs (If I remember right) which blew out around the 4th or 5th year and then I put a set of flow masters on in their place. The flow masters sound real nice on both setups but I am a little older now and when they need to be replaced I want to quite it down. Thinking about a 2 into 1 out the passenger side next. The passenger side long tube header is real close to the passenger side floor board so I am in the process of putting on a 1 inch body lift to compensate so mommas feet are a little more comfortable : ) I've been told that the body lift may help me acheive a little better air flow under the hood too, potentially helping out the cooling system a bit...

I had long tube also and the only way I got it to cool down was to wrap the headers. Now I have shorties and 2 into 1 w/ 1" BL and the tubes are a lot further from the floor. When I ran it to running temp and for a while longer, the only part of the floor that even got close to being hot was right over the muffler and it wasn't that hot. Once I get the interior done it won't even be noticable.

I have long tubes and duals running out to side behind rear tires. If I redo the exhaust it will be shorties 2-1. I really don't like how close the drivers side exhaust is running next to brake and fuel lines.
