My Grandfather has been a huge help getting the vette running in tip top shape, so here's an appreciation video.

Sound comparison
Hooker Side pipes: Glasspacks vs STS Baffles insert vs open header
Просмотров 188 тыс.16 лет назад
I was changing out the exhaust and decided last minute to make a quick video to compare the two. The STS baffle center cap was completely removed. You're supposed to start out drilling a small hole then increase it to the desired sound. Hind sight, probably should have started drilling the holes first instead of removing it because it's loud. The open headers were so loud it initially put the c...

For the first time since 1984, and after a year of work (body-off restoration) it's on the road again!

A tribute frame-off restoration of an L71 Corvette 427/435hp (Dads vette until he passed in 10/05), 32,693 original miles. In the video it shows aftermarket intake/carbs, but I finally restored the original tri-power setup and have it back on the vette. Also switched to monospring suspension, but have the original cleaned up and set back.

    Hard to tell in a video but pipes with baffles seemed louder and way raspier? I love how Vette headers primary's go all the way exposed to the side, I'd think those really long primaries would help make a pile of low end TQ...?

    Not a very good comparison. Everyone knows a glass pack muffler will be more muted than a baffled muffler. But, #1. the camera was further away from the exhaust in the glass pack portion of the video. #2. the camera was ahead of the exhaust pipe outlet as well, during the glass pack portion. #3. in the baffle video, the camera was closer to the exhaust plus it was placed directly in line looking straight up the pipe. Assuming that the audio was recorded by the camera's built in microphone, there is no way to judge the comparison as recorded due to movement of the camera. It is impossible to determine the difference in exhaust sound without consistent placement of the audio input device (microphone).

    • @Eric-nu4yo
      @Eric-nu4yo 4 года назад

      I would get the assembly manual and the shop manual; if you are going for originality the NCRS judging manual is good too. Take lots of pictures, label and bag everything as you go. If you get stumped turn to one of the corvette communities and search their forums and ask questions, there are a lot of helpful and knowledgeable people who can help. Plan ahead and anticipate the upcoming steps. Like how much time will it take to do, what parts will be needed, how long for prep, restoration, and finish. Take into account the "while i'm at it" tasks when planning. It's not fun when you have time to get things done but you are stuck waiting on part, things to dry, or someone to give you a hand. That's some of the general advice I can think of off hand, I hope it helps.

    Personally I like the baffles rather than glass packs on the side pipe deal. The cops won't like it at all and your neighbors will cuss you every time it's fired up. I've had them both. Baffles when tuned properly will give power&fuel milage but it's loud.

    Thank you for posts. My Daddy left me a 69' vette, 427 that I plan to restore. It is all original, numbers matching and has not had any restoration work done. Cannot wait to get started! He restored classic cars, will be hard to do this without his advise, but looking forward to doing this in his honor.

    Open headers for the win, of course! A great reason to allow yourself that opton. As for the other options, you'll need to decide what you can legally live with...either way...sidepipes are a great OPTION!!!

    Thank you so much for posting this. That is such a beautiful car. My dad has one, and my mother always used to drive me around in it growing up. It has the best sounding engine ever and I'm going to miss it if we have to get rid of it. He just passed away. I asked my mother if I could go up and take it for a drive sometime before just in case.
