That's a good idea on the wrap, what did you use?

I didnt use "wrap" because wrapping the exhaust causes the pipe underneath the wrapping to rot from extreme heat and rust.  Instead I used two of these blankets. Thermo-Tech

 

I have two of them end to end.  Here's what they looks like.

So a culvert pipe and tee post is all I need?

 

Yes, one or two T posts is all you need.  For that matter, all you're doing it adding mass to the exhaust pipe to change the reverberating pitch.  T posts are just cheap.

You need to remove the spade on the bottom and just clamp it on.  I used one but thought about adding another.  Never did because I eventually bought a new exhaust system.....and because any drone I did have at that point was so minimal that I just didnt care enough to add another T post.

 

Here's what it looked like too.  And before you say anything, yes did look redneckish but it was very difficult to see unless you crawled under the truck.  Actually I never liked how the whole straight pipe job went and thought the guy did a sloppy job.....

If you have long hair you stay far away...  right?

[notlimah]

@KATOOM ahh ok, that looks pretty good, I'll have to keep that in mind whenever an exhaust is in the works. 

 

Mad far as those T's are they completely welded on? Or is there a bolt on option?

[KATOOM]

The T post is merely strapped on with some regular hardware store screw straps.  I think I used three of them.  Welding them on is an option if you want.

[notlimah]

Where'd you get them from?

[KATOOM]

The T post you see in that picture I posted is just what I had laying behind the barn.  The straps I picked up at the hardware store.  Really it was just an experiment I tried on afternoon that worked and I never got around to trying to make it look any more appealing.

[notlimah]

Ah ok, I thought it was a specific part made for this sort of application. 

[Me78569]

Spooly enough?

Got the exhaust brake on don't you?

[Me78569]

I guess yes, but the arduino code talks to the turbo, if the turbo says the internal temp is cold & the arduino detects idle state it will go into warmup mode and close the turbo down. 

 

Pretty nice.

Sounds like a jet airplane.
