Title: Dr Gas Boom Tubes
Post by: 303 Mopar on June 02, 2017, 08:59:59 AM
I recently installed 3" H-Pipe exhaust with Dr Gas Boom Tube side exhaust mufflers.  I was looking for a deep, throaty sound, and loud of course. I also wanted a side exhaust that stayed tucked up tight to the car.  The Boom Tubes did not disappoint.  They are high quality material and fit perfect.  You can get the side exhaust with or with out a muffler built in, which also cleans up the undercarriage.  They also offer other mufflers that vary from quiet to extreme.

Wish I had seen these before buying more traditional T/A style Chrome tips. I like that you can barely see them. Still an option for cutouts.

They sound very healthy.  I was kind of expecting a burnout or something  :burnout:

Not the sort of thing I usually like but those look cool. You show good taste on that car.

WOW!!!  I am so glad I joined this site.  I had plans to use some spin tech side exit mufflers and route to side but these are actually the look I was after.  Another one of the renderings I used for my design was this one with the red stripe and the oval side exit exhaust.  It almost looks like he had seen the Dr Gas mufflers when he drew it up.  I'm assuming you went with 3" and flat side on bottom?
I'll order mine next week.  I have some Pypes X tubing that I didn't use on my Charger due to Gear Vendor OD.  Mike

Yes @HUSTLESTUFF (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/hustlestuff_261), 3" and flat side down.  One of the cool things about these mufflers is they are beveled so the exhaust tube can stay tucked up tight to the floor board, then it drops before the muffler to allow you to clear the body.  This was an important point to me because I also installed subframe connectors and this muffler cleared them.

Thanks @303 mopar They are on the way.  Should sound great with the 440.  My girlfriend will love driving it.  She loves all my loud S#!t.  LOL.  And how does that call out work?

@303 Mopar (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/303-mopar_7) did you get the pre-cut angled tubes with mufflers or uncut full length with integral mufflers and then cut the angle? Love the look and sound!

Wes

Thanks.  They are loud so be prepared. I got the pre-cut and had them paint them the high temp flat black.  I thought it would be easier to mount them where I wanted them relative to the body and rear tire first, then bend the exhaust pipe to fit.

For the call out decal, I just emailed a local sign print shop the detail and pic of what I wanted.  They measured the current AAR shield decal, drew it up and printed the new decals off.  They even removed the old decal and installed the new ones.

I keep forgetting to listen to the video when I get home from work.  I really like the way it looks.  IF it gets to be too loud, it looks like you have plenty of room to use a glasspack style muffler right after the collectors.  Walker makes a "tough turbo" muffler that looks like a glasspack from the outside but is baffled on the inside.  Someone might even make a thin square/flat muffler that would fit there. 

Not saying you'll need one but exhaust is a very personal thing.  What sounds good to one person is way too loud for another.  Adding another muffler inline would quiet it down.

Exactly my thought too @Burdar (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/burdar_173).  I like the way it sounds now and this was my intent buying these, but if I get sick of it in my old age I can stick a baffled tube muffler in there to quite it down.   :drinkingbud:

Sounds amazing. 
Is that a modern hemi?

Where did you get the AAR style graphics with the custom 392?

Thanks!  Yep, its a 2016 392 Hemi that I dropped in back in November.  The white AAR strobe was bought by the PO at Performance Car Graphics http://www.performancecargraphics.com/Stripes_Lettering/Vinyl_Color_Samples.htm (http://www.performancecargraphics.com/Stripes_Lettering/Vinyl_Color_Samples.htm). 

The 392 shields was printed and installed by a small local shop with the help of design and fonts by

Can you post a pic of how they mounted the boom tube to the car please. I'm working on mine now and will be doing it at home with Pypes x pipe. Thanks, Mike

The AAR style side exhaust I had on included a bracket mounted to the inside of the frame rails, so we just used that for the boom tubes.  It holds it perfect with no bouncing and clears the pinch weld just enough.

Nice install. I think one of these days I'm going to have to check out your car in person since you are local to me and I'm doing a pro-touring Challenger with a 6.1.
