Scurrvy Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Okay guys, I got my truck to where it will start now with starting fluid until I have the money to get a remaned carburetor. But I noticed it doesn't have a muffler. Didn't really look considering it's not very loud, But I need one to pass emissions. Anything that would give this thing a nice sound while still keeping the cat on it? and good size for the piping? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Dunno what emissions requires but the Magnaflow sound great. Thrush turbo mufflers are quiet but maintain a decent tone. Only about $20 for a thrush. Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah, I was thinking magnaflow or flowmaster would be good choices. I have until the end of march to get one put on. Quote Link to comment
Lowandslow Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have a generic looking flowmaster on m truck and it sounds pretty good. It just deepened the tone of the truck but it's not obnoxiously loud. Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah, My car had a fart can on it..and I'm looking for something a little more quiet for the truck. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Flowmasters are possibly the worst muffler on the planet.Magna flow or Walker turbo-and get the biggest one that will fit. Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 What about the Trush Welded mufflers? There like $45 at Autozone. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I'll see what I can find. This muffler place can replace it all for $120.00 but that's with probably just a stock Nissan muffler. Quote Link to comment

Mr.Dean_Yates Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm running a 12" cherry bomb lol Quote Link to comment
Lowandslow Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 How loud is the Cherry Bomb? Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well 720 is done. The valve cover blew. I don't really know how or why but it did. Has like a credit card size slash in the top of the front of it. Luckily I have a friend who may be able to fix it. I hope. I was driving it home from work and it just blew. Quote Link to comment

Did the engine run anymore after it blew? Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Nah, it shut off. But I didn't see any oil or anything coming out of it. It just blew a little slit in it. Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 actually, it could of, it could of blew and I couldn't tell because my exhaust is loud because it began to lose power before it shut off. Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Okay, it was my timing chain. It broke and cause the hole. Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Timing chain blew off? That the only thing I can think of Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 That's what I figured. Trouble is the chains don't break. This is the first I've ever heard of. Now the problem is why? What could have happened to cause this? Can't imagine anything that would stress the chain enough to snap it. Simply put, the Z series just isn't up to it. :w00t: Which leaves damage. Maybe the chain guide was worn out and rubbed it. Now for the aftermath. When the chain breaks, the cam stops. If intakes are open the piston comes up and they will hit. The chain tensioner will pop out and without the chain may get ground up. The chain itself is also laying in there. Quote Link to comment
