SO you are going on Vacation too. Susanne, offline, RHaj, Gone to climbing, you going too. Whew. Well I am NOT jealous, I am going to Maui in 3 weeks. The truck is doing well but in my attempt to ensure I started with a good baseline I have had to sink some change into it. Transfer case leak, Had transfer case re-built ($$$). Change all fluids.... Now getting ready to pipe. Going with banks system including downpipe and free flow exhaust. Eliminating Cat and all at same time. Will have pics soon Robin  Signature~*~ The A.S.T.

Right now you're the only one openly calling unspecified people pigs on this newsgroup. And nobody gives a sh.t about your truck and your vacation. If you want to conduct personal correspondence, take it private. And if you're that desperate for friendship, but a dog. SO you are going on Vacation too.

I wouldn't know about things like that. Could you please elaborate? Terri Shut up, Fatty. You do nothing but generate malice, disruption, and cellulite. Your life is a waste.

Hey, not to be picky, but doesn't the noise you'll generate bother your tinnitus? Doesn't it bother other people? And the catalytic converter is what cleans out most of the stuff that produces the smog blanket I see over Salt Lake City when I go there. It's the NOx and HC that cause it. Just wonderin'.

It's the NOx and > HC that cause it. Valid point of this were a gasoline engine. It is diesel and a cat serves no purpose nor are they required on diesel motors. That is why I can get it inspected and pass without one. They also stopped installing them on the newer trucks because they serve no purpose. > Just wonderin'.

Placing a large"tip" on a vehicle will increase the noise as would a megaphone to the mouth. Enlarging the entire exhaust system doen not do this. Have a nice day Jim Robin Signature~*~ The A.S.T.

But why do they put such an expensive device on a vehicle if it does no good? Manufacturers aren't known for that. I used to know the ends and outs of the automotive noise and emissions business, but not any more. >Yes I understand you concern.

You may well be right. >Have a nice day Jim I have. Hope you have, too. (PS: I used to work for GM at their Research Labs. I worked in psychoacoustics and, at one point, developed a model of vehicle noise based on changes in vehicle design and explored the ways GM could meet various proposed noise standards. I also learned everything there was to know about tire noise. But that was a long time ago and before tinnitus.) SignatureJim Chinnis / Warrenton, Virginia, USA Want to discuss Meniere's?

You may well be right. Again, I think... that it will lower the tone but not increase the volume. Either way the effect is minimal. I am making the change to lower the EGT at the turbo inlet so when I increase the engine output I do not burn the tubine blades. > >Have a nice day Jim > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > standards. I also learned everything there was to know about tire noise. But > that was a long time ago and before tinnitus.) Sounds like interesting work. Do you think this had anything to do with your "T" or was it that long ago. Robin ;-) "Robin" <rpatrick@Nospam.com> wrote in part: >As I understand it (in other words heresay) they installed them for Gove >Regs and then got the regs changed because it did not do any good. I don't think so. The emissions regs are performance based only. In other words, data must be presented to the EPA showing that the vehicles can be put through a particular operating cycle on a dynamometer and meet the emission output limits. Then, at a later mileage, they have to do it again. The gov't does not specify how they meet the limits. The choice of installing a catalytic converter on a diesel had to be because the test vehicles wouldn't pass emission requirements without it. The manufacturers aren't idiots with their own money. >> >Yes I understand you concern. Placing a large"tip" on a vehicle will >> >increase the noise as would a megaphone to the mouth.

It was 16 years before my T hit. I was never exposed to loud noise even though I researched it. SignatureJim Chinnis / Warrenton, Virginia, USA Want to discuss Meniere's?

Doesn't it bother other people? The constant rumbling and rattling of the diesel is a great masker ... that was one consideration (albeit a small one) when I decided to go with diesel over V10.

You could have recorded one and played it on a super music system in your V-10 truck. Then it wouldn't bother others as much. Besides, it would be a lot cheaper. :-) SignatureJim Chinnis / Warrenton, Virginia, USA Want to discuss Meniere's? See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MenieresDG |
