The amps i have will run them fine, the SMD's themselves are in 8 ft3 enclosures so 3200w on each one should do the job. The real question is, do i have a BREAKER that can handle it....

Chicken just sent me this link, someone else made a video from a few weeks back when B-Legit and Turf showed up. Check this out if you are a fan of CHP

supposed to be 16hp gain click here for info / store site but who knows.....it will look cool and sound a little different. Plus i cant just go get an exhaust and not do the intake too. Thats just wrong! LOL so ALMOST 50hp extra with the 2 new toys coming, exhaust is supposed to be 30 or so.....ill be happy then (for now)

i was so bummed when they were over 8 feet tall....and that HIGHLY contributed to the back burner status of these. Im back at it though, full steam ahead!

its not my pictures but this is what i ordered for my ISF today! Should compliment my new ISSforged exhaust real nice! EDIT! IT ARRIVED! SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE PICS OF IT INSTALLED! Its supposed to be around 16hp...it sounds good! i will make a new thread when it arrives and i install it! YEE!

oh, they are officially 7' - 11 3/4" tall now haha......chea

to those who have been following this build, sorry for the delay! the updates are just now trickling back in! I have been sanding non stop for a week straight.....filling imperfections, pinholes, countersinking the neo-magnets deeper, wiring, sanding, sanding and sanding. Also, I dont know if I mentioned it but after i put the 4" wheels on it, the things ended up being like 8' - 2" tall and would not fit in my lobby with 8' ceilings. That also means i could never take these home since i also have 8' ceilings. This cause a dilemma. With the Hoopty being painted and finished(at the time of last update), these things got tossed on teh back burner since i knew my lovely wheels and the "skirt" that hides them needed to be removed. I finally got cracking on them. After i finished sanding these, I put smaller 2" wheels and ripped the skirt and redid it to match the new wheels. i am HAPPY TO SAY that they are in the booth right now getting primered! After that they will be painted "Piano Black" with an SMD/AA logo on the bottom right corner of the sub box. here is a few pics. MORE on the way later!

you dont need to do a mini notch with a static 3/5 drop. if your going to bag it you will be leaving the rear shocks in place, you already have the short "nitro" shocks right? If they are stock, that might be your problem. Also, if the rear kit is installed wrong (the mounting hardware) that could be an issue. I drove all the way to Kansas City with my rear kit slightly "wrong" and it felt like it was bottoming out sometimes. In my defense, i had no instructions and it "looked" correct when i installed it lol. i had a 3/5 for years before i bagged mine and tons of stereo equipment. If you are bottoming out, with the same drop i had,installed properly, shortened shocks (like the DJM ones) and you already cut the bump stop brackets off... you got some other issue that i dont know about.

Oldschool Sacramento shit right here - Brotha Lynch 24 deep.....Throwback video. this is almost 20yrs old, Lynch has been a legend for that long....i still cant believe he is on the CHP album coming up

hdorre wins todays prize for paying attention. that is pretty rare these days lol

if it gets too heavy your only choice is air.......imo.

oh sorry i just noticed this. Ya they are real hard to read, i still can barely see it even after you said what it says. Maybe it will be easier to see after it heals.

x2 what does it say?

that'd be sick but i dont think anyone has perfected it for this motor yet. Everything i have read about the few who have attempted it is they dont run 100% correctly yet. Sick as hell but they have problems. I will wait till i get closer to paying the car off before i make major mods like that though. I want to supercharge my Tahoe so i might consider doing that first. I own that ol' girl so no worries there I have a buddy that is a licensed procharger installer.(he does cars like the ISF all the time. but mostly pro mod drag) I think we could get this thing up to 550+ hp...depending if the block wont explode your boy doesnt do ISF's. There is only one that i know of and it dont run right. Im not going to be his guinea pig. its not for racing its for more power. More power is always more better, especially with the weight.

$17,000...... u buyin?

no, none of it is fake, who told you that? God damn some people are stupid. (not you, whoever told you that). the 4 tips on the back are the only thing that isnt connected physically to the exhaust system, but directly behind them the exhaust which ALSO has four tips, blows directly thru the diffusers. Some people try to call it "fake" because of that, but they are not fake, they are diffusers and LOTS of high end cars have that. As for what you said, "only one side actually functions", that is complete and utter bullshit. This car already has dual exhaust and it all works. Its a V-8 under my hood not a four cylinder lol.

oh FYI: here is some info on the "X" pipe in the middle of it. (the "H" looking thing you see, isnt an "H-pipe", its just a piece they weld in for easier installation) Although X-pipes are essential for race cars, adding this modification to a stock car can be a good idea for many reasons – increased power, fuel economy and less noise inside the vehicle. This type of aftermarket performance part is something you can either purchase or have custom-made for you by a good muffler shop. Installation is simple enough for the at-home pro, and the result will be well worth the effort. The Evolution of the X-Pipe To understand the importance of the X-pipe in relation to improved performance and power, you have to know about its roots. The X-pipe is really the offspring of the H-pipe design, which was first conceived in the 1960s by the major American car manufacturing companies at the time. Duel exhaust pipes for V-8-powered vehicles are very noisy, as there is no sound wave cancellation between the 2 separate four-cylinder engines and unconnected exhaust systems. Engineers were looking for a way to cut down on interior noise levels and improve the engine's power. They realized that running a balance tube between the two branches of exhaust pipe would work to broaden the torque curve (thus improving engine performance) and dissipate sound resonance in the exhaust system. In the 1990s improved technological advancements made it possible to construct an exhaust pipe that, instead of connecting by means of a balance pipe at a severe 90-degree angle, could unify the two branches of pipe to create a flow of exhaust in one direction. Now X-pipes are being manufactured for popular performance cars, usually off-road versions minus catalytic converters, but you can also find them in legal models fully equipped with proper emissions equipment. Performing an X-pipe mod is an option that you should consider. Why X over H? It has been proven time and again that the X-pipe design is more efficient than the H-pipe. Various tests have shown that for multiple cylinder engines the X-pipe outperforms H-pipe exhaust systems, especially as rpm increases, providing both better torque and power. Unified exhaust pipes work most efficiently with multiple cylinders because of the scavenging effect. With exhaust X-pipes the almost seamless connection between the two exhaust pipes allows sequential firing cylinders to salvage any spent exhaust gases from the combustion chamber more efficiently and creates more room in the cylinder for a fresh intake of undiluted fuel and air. When you have two exhaust pipes, as the velocity in one header tube increases, the pressure in the adjacent tube is lowered causing the exhaust to be sucked out of that cylinder. All in all, with exhaust X-pipes torque and power will increase resulting in fast acceleration, improved fuel economy and a nice quiet ride. The difference is noticeable with the installation of X-pipes on a V-8 engine vehicle - interior noise is reduced considerably because you don't hear the firing impulses of 2 four-cylinder engines, but instead hear the noise of all 8 cylinders blasting out of both pipes at once.

Check out the new exhaust i have coming for my ISF. Its been 3-4 weeks since this was ordered and it should be here sometime next week. I didnt really want to say much until it was closer to delivery day but i really just wanted to make a thread to show you guys what its all about, and of course some pictures. The four diffuser pipes that are on there now will be removed to make room for the true tips. Anyway, i will make a new post for my ISF but i figured i would post this up for a little teaser to whats going to come! Stay tuned, this week should be some fun show-and-tell going on!

i ONLY count the straight tube part of the flared port.

oh shit i am teh bant!!!! LOL....hey in my defense i didnt know that one was already up. Oh well

to me that was the best part

This is crazy! He nailed the landing too!

i had a plan to scramble some eggs in my port but before i do i wanted to see if these ziplock containers would be strong enough to keep the tahoe dry.....so i tested it with packing peanuts. Well i guess i will be taping the lid on

i am 10-11 hours away bro.....sorry! thanks for the message and welcome to the forum!
