8v92 PT muffler
My 86 PT8 with 8v92 has no muffler right now. I want to install one.
Can someone tell me a model or part number I should use? Scott Forman 86 PT38 Memphis |

Scott what does your rig sound like without muffler. Randy and I have
discussed the possibility of a straight pipe (no muffler). We figured the turbo would accomplish a great deal of noise reduction. I've done this with a pickup diesel with good results. We'd be interested to know if the sound you're experiencing now is too loud or too harsh. On 03/10/2007, Scott Forman <sforman@...> wrote: > > My 86 PT8 with 8v92 has no muffler right now.

If you dont have one maybe the injectors were tuned for lack of back
pressure and on install you will be required to re tune?? or it was removed due to loss of performance?? may be more to a mod by the po than what is on the surface.

I've also been curious about what a 3208T would sound like with
little or no muffler and the long exhaust pipe. Has anyone tried it? Also, does anyone think the stock BB FC muffler robs any HP?

That's a tough question to answer...opinions vary. For me personally
(and the previous owner, who set it up this way), it is not too harsh. I liken it to a fire truck...it is certainly a loud rumble that gets your attention, but not just deafening. And on the road, with the noise behind me, I really can't even hear it. But if the bus is at idle and you are anywhere near it outside, you will be screaming to the man next to you. I am considering adding a muffler solely to be a nice guy. I live in the city, and I keep the bus behind my house. On my way out of town, I am blowing people away, and if I come or go at night, everyone on my cove gets a wake-up call. I have not decided exactly if I will or won't, I just want to get an idea of what it will cost if I decide to do it.

Not an 8v92PT but an 8.3 L Cummings. After a discussion with Woody
Ichanged my exhaust system and removed the muffler. It barks a bit more but I have more pep. The turbo is considdered a muffler which makes it leagal. Verry happy with the result.

Scott,
I'll have to look at my records if your really interested, but I had to buy a new muffler last year. I remember off the top of my head it was three feet long and oval shaped, with I think 5" inlet and outlet on same end. Bluebirds price was very expensive! Somewhere in the forum database, I used a company from Iowa. Air flow or auto-jet or something like that. The point is, they were very easy to deal with, custom made it, I had it quick and it was in the low $200.00's Tom Sorrentino 1987 PT38 Bedford Hills, NY --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Scott Forman" <sforman@...> wrote: > > My 86 PT8 with 8v92 has no muffler right now.

Mentioned this muffler topic with Randy Dupree and he's got some experience
with these U-turn mufflers. He says he'll post some info tonight On 03/10/2007, thomas_sorrentino > > Scott, > > I'll have to look at my records if your really interested, but I had to > buy a new muffler last year.
