Victor's 289 Build Thread

[Chainsaw]

I've ordered Car Chemistry 3 disk inserts and some packing. Will do a before and after test.

Very interested in seeing how those work out. The Boig price is a bit steep. Mrs. Chainsaw has made a firm request for quieter pipes even though she hasn't even heard the car run yet.

I'm curious how the Car Chemistry inserts work. I ordered the Dynatech auger inserts that should be delivered today. I'm in the middle of body work so I probably won't get to installing them for a little while.

I've considered doing both.

I've built a fairly healthy engine and am now willing to give up HP. I do not remember my last 408 powered cobra being this loud. I have only been idling around the street, at WOT I'll be blowing out windows.

Parts are shipped, I hope to have them by the end of the week. I think they will drop db's more than augers, not sure what it will cost me in HP.

Have her stand a block away for the first start, and she still won't be impressed. I'm peaking at 105 dB at idle. When the parts arrive I will test them thoroughly with video and post here.

I brought the car in and out of the garage twice today, my ears hurt.

I intend to use the provided caps and pack both chambers with steel wool, I'm chasing max quiet with these.
