You should put some nitrous on the car and get it into the 9s but low 10s for an N/A stick shift car is pretty damn good especially for it to be full weight and everything and I think you should go to @Old Man's Garage on RUclips and call out his Malibu he has a 79 Malibu with a 421cid nitrous SBC in it and his is also a daily driver and it is full weight full interior and has heat and A/C and he drives it on a daily as well and I think it would be a good race between the two of you except he likes racing in the 8th mile

X pipe would sound awesome. On another note, never ever use rags on a bandsaw. Ever. That's the most perfect way I've ever seen to lose some fingers. You're watching your cut, not the rag. The rag is moving with the work piece (towards the blade). When the blade grabs the rag, and it will, it's gonna take both your thumbs with it. Go get some ABS plastic cut in 2 and fasten it to your table and leave it there for whatever you're cutting. Sounds pretty good, good looking welds too, but expect your floorboards to be flaming hot due to heat transfer from the aluminum.
I saw what you're saying about the rags that could've ended badly for him really quick and if I were him instead of using rags why not sit the piece of metal that you are cutting on a piece of 2x4 long enough your fingers are away from the blade safely and just have the saw cut the metal and the wood at the same time unless the blade is strictly for metal or strictly for wood then that's the only way that won't work but if it's a universal blade you would be able to do that
@@keefespencer1173 aluminum is soft enough that wood blades on most cutting tools can be used on it, usually works better than metal blades because they get galled up by the aluminum often.
He told me directly it wouldn't get any type of crossover. "It was designed that way". Hey, when he's ending the 1320 @ 8,200RPM in a 302ci SBF.....he's got his mind set on what he's doing.
@@VibrantPerformanceTV nothing on this video mention why ALu was chosen? was it just light weight for drag racing, would it hold up to large milage? cheaper than TI?
18:13 the actual reason is that the motor is offset in the engine bay almost 2” to the passenger side to make room for the brake booster and steering linkage. That’s why one side is straight and the other is kicked in a little.
First thing I noticed was no X or H pipe. Disappointed 😢It doesn’t sound like a Mustang but that is some nice welding for sure. Why wasn’t there an X pipe or H pipe? Just curious. I love the Weld wheels, they still look good to this day. Classic!
Nice to meet you Art! The 440 in my 93 Cobra is begging me to be more VIBRANT! Love your AN fittings and black braided hoses!!!! I build a few cars a year exclusively with VIBRANT.

@@VibrantPerformanceTV I really like a lot of your products, and I'm sorry if I come across as harsh on other comments regarding the design choice of the system. I comment from a performance and design standpoint.
@@arturozarate1752 the car will not get a crossover. Its setup this way for a reason. Im not looking for a “balanced sound” think of any drag car, pro mod, old school hot rod, a/c cobra. No mid section 😃 As far as the finish goes. It will not dull. The aluminum dissipates heat quickly. Think turbo piping 😃
It may be the video idk, it sounds ok, not great. These are really just straight thru resonators aren't they?? Some of the sound also changes with different header design The whole car is nice though 👍
I would say this sounds pretty good, and has some good practical benefits but have noticed for a long time that any longer Titanium, Aluminium exhausts, basically anything not on a bike or something with a layout like a Dune Buggy can run into big issues with rasp if that is a deal breaker. Can be mitigated with supports or added resonators, most of that sort of rasp comes from the literal pipe itself vibrating around a bit causing a knock on effect you hear all the way through the pipe (other more static cause would be if merge at headers is harsh, not very high quality, BMW syndrome.) High quality Stainless is heavier but consistently the cleanest sounding in this regard, feel free to look up identical engines with similar or practically same exhaust setup with normal Steel and Stainless if you don't believe me.
I did a full aluminum exhaust in my pickup. 2001 4.0 ranger tuned up on nitrous. Not bashing on the work as this is a really nice job, however this setup is going to be very short lived. Every single joint is a butt joint putting all the stress on the welds and 1,000% I would never use 5356 filler in a high heat cycle application. Every single time I've used it with or without post weld heat treating, the welds fail. It gets very brittle at temp and in this situation. 4043 and 4943 are far better choices. Aluminum is a bit tricky in a heat application due to the tendencies to crack at temperature. @Vibrant Performance TV I've used your guys stuff personally and it's all good stuff. I would highly highly suggest you guys use slip joints in this application to fix the welds failing. Especially with the mufflers/resonators, those should be slip joints regardless of the base metal. Good work regardless just personally kinda sucks to have comebacks on stuff like this and have to fix it down the road. Been there done that not fun. Lol keep it up guys, nice looking car and a really nice exhaust!
@@Kashusr had 2 rotaries setup with this. With 3.5 inch aluminum after downpipe 2 of your mufflers. Held up great, sounded amazing, and lightweight. After I saw no longer available I just did your stainless version. But I would love these in aluminum again.
I'm guessing this tig welder primarily welds aluminum! Feathering the pedal with the dabbing, could use a cup that is half the size with a lens. Also, 308l filler is designed to weld mild to ss, and lastly, the gas only needs to be 11 to 15 cfh.
Weight.. even bigger advantage if you're running all the way out the back with aluminum mufflers. 30+ lbs is probably a safe estimate vs similarly configured steel exhaust. If you do, would definitely recommend coating with something like Cerakote if you want any longevity out of it.. especially if you're anywhere near the coast.
Know the rubber 5/16 fuel line fits inside of the 12AN line, just use Permatex ultra as lube and stuff them together... 5 inches in, 100psi going nowhere. several years, still not coming apart... can put a 5/16 steel tube in a 5/16 ptfe line so the 5/16 rubber hose can clamp onto it the bubbles and heated flair on the ptfe make a lip that holds it on, but eh... if it gets thrown out its going onto what i'm doing, just to some day get all the right parts but never all at once.
I would love some vibrant mufflers to quiet down my q50 3.7 but not lose any performance. Any recommendations? And that foxbody is clean and sounds healthy!!!!

I hope they bring this back but make them out of a thicker material so they dont crack after a few heat cycles! From what ive heard they had major issues and thats why they got discontinued
Weight difference is a big factor & the main reason for most to build an aluminum exhaust system, but it also has a different resonance which means it will sound a good bit different than steel.
@ 13:59 if I hadn't been watching from the beginning, I'd clearly know that the car belongs to either "Jack" or "Sledge" of the "Hammer" brothers. "Rookie"! Sourced everything else but a larger hump cross member. Maaaan...
@@Kashusr rubbish! REALLY? I haven't been under my Cobra in forever.... What specific cross member are you using and what pipe diameter are you trying to clear? I clear 3" od all the way to the bumper through Flowmaster 3" tailpipes.
Cobras dont have an H or X pipe and thats why they sound like that, a v8 doesnt have an equal firing or per bank being the prime reason for the lumpy idle sound even on a bone stock engine

There is a reason nobody uses aluminum for exhaust but alot of radiators use aluminum. Heat transfer, and the floor board will get very hot and in the summer time well the cab of your vehicle south of Canada will get hot very hot, hope your ac if you have one work very good cause your going to need it! Why do they coat headers and exhaust pipe with ceramic, I guess to keep heat in to cut down on heat transfer under hood and close to floor boards?
Rust is the reason why stainless steel is the go to metal for exhausts.. He may have went with "aluminium" to save weight..lol i would just turn the exhaust after the front tires, in my state it's ok for an old car.. God bless TX..
Aluminum does not retain heat like stainless does. These exhausts are located underneath the vehicle, and there is a LOT of air flow there. You will notice our line of heat protective shielding is made from aluminum, that is because it blocks the heat from entering, but also if you expose a section of the aluminum heat shield (also the reason why heat shields hang so low on vehicles) to an open airway (such as underneath the car) then all the heat that absorbs from the exhaust tubing will transfer out the exposed area. This car does not have AC and it is not a daily driver. This is a street/strip car.
@@P71ScrewHead I'm an old guy, been doing hot rod stuff for awhile and if you drive it on the street you going to hit red lights and traffic jams 🎸, if it's a track car straight headers no need for exhaust pipe weights to much your at the track right. Nascar uses aluminum exhaust pipe and other metals to. It gets so hot inside those cars that the driver loses more water or fluids than any other athlete or any athlete if you don't consider them athletes in one race. It gets really hot inside those cars and they have close to two hundred miles per hour of air flow. I'm just trying to give car guys a heads up on the cons of aluminum exhaust parts. Hope you don't get in a traffic jam in Texas, I'm from the Great state of Louisiana and love Texas like Texas to
@@VibrantPerformanceTV Nascar cars have two hundred miles per hour of air flow and the drivers loses more fluid weight than any other athlete in one event not even close because wait for it, it gets really hot inside the cab of a race car! Now if I'm on the street I might run into a red light or two and a traffic jam on a hot day in Texas or California or well you should get my point. Look I've been car crafting for years I'm an old guy. A track car doesn't use exhaust pipe at the strip, weight to much. Open headers or header mufflers if required.

Shout out to Louisiana, we share similar political beliefs n y'all most times back TX when we stand up against corrupt federal government..
You must have been told that because assumption was that thin wall aluminum is weak for exhaust, which it is. If you are using a Stainless muffler with aluminum, then you will also run into issues. Keep in mind a lot of promods use Aluminum on their downpipes in turbo cars (as seen in the Mustang at our PRI booth, video is on our channel showcasing the vehicle)
@@VibrantPerformanceTV I Tried a 3 inch vibrant aluminum exhaust, with stainless mufflers, dumped under the car, and it blew holes in the pipe about 4 inches away from the collector. Keep in mind this is on a 900hp LT4 camaro. Doubled up the first 12 inches of pipe after the collector, then the whole inside layer blew apart and put a gigantic hole in the middle of a 45 degree bend. I wish it worked for me, but I went back to stainless
I definitely want to hear a version with an X or H pipe

stick welding gloves with .035 wire lol
No crossover tube or X pipe, this system isn't ideal.
Was told aluminum is weak 4 exhaust
Rusts faster than stainless steel but weighs less..
You must have been told that because assumption was that thin wall aluminum is weak for exhaust, which it is. If you are using a Stainless muffler with aluminum, then you will also run into issues. Keep in mind a lot of promods use Aluminum on their downpipes in turbo cars (as seen in the Mustang at our PRI booth, video is on our channel showcasing the vehicle)
@@VibrantPerformanceTV I Tried a 3 inch vibrant aluminum exhaust, with stainless mufflers, dumped under the car, and it blew holes in the pipe about 4 inches away from the collector. Keep in mind this is on a 900hp LT4 camaro. Doubled up the first 12 inches of pipe after the collector, then the whole inside layer blew apart and put a gigantic hole in the middle of a 45 degree bend. I wish it worked for me, but I went back to stainless
@@Cdub427 horsepower has alot to do with it I’m sureThis thing only makes 400hp 😂😂
@@Kashusr I’m jealous! I can’t run aluminum 😭 unless vibrant makes some custom .080+ wall 3 inch 👀

WTAF why was there f#%^ing music playing the entire time the car was running! I literally skipped forward just to hear it and that’s what you do?!
