Building a 23 tbucket and wondering how zoomies will sound any takers? How bad will it affect my low end. I am running an aftermarket PBM block stroked to 383 with Brodix RR 200 heads 13 - 1 compression?

Was running 1 7/8" to 2" stepped headers previously when motor was in my other car.

I run straight pipe on my Bucket. Not really Zoomie style but similar. They sound great and you wont notice any performance difference. The noise does get annoying on longer trips

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it!!!!

I ran Zoomies on my T-bucket for one summer. Even with baffles they were loud and annoying. I also noticed a loss of low end torque. Switched back to Roadster headers with the 20" turn out. Sound much better and I think they perform much better too.

Thanks for the info that is what I also heard is a loss of low end. Would you say they were louder than a harley when they take off?

a friend had zoomies.. and i would never park next to him.. way to loud and they had baffles in.. he ran them for bout a yr or so and pulled and sold them for they got loud to him too...
i was also surprised he never got a ticket for noise and needless to say they did not exit behind the door area.. they are $$$$$, spend your money elsewhere.

Thanks for the advice and also, what size tubes do you have on your t bucket headers in the profile picture? I want at least 1 7/8" if not 1 7/8" to 2" step and I like the looks of yours they are not the typical tbucket header look?

Thanks

todd, which bucket are u talking about.. GT's or mine (red). as for mine i'd really need to measure, but i'd say 2" tubes to 4" collector.

[toddboetzel]

Bill, it looks red with white stripes, where did you get the headers from if you don't mind?

[delawarebill]

i got them from "southern rod & parts" in NC or SC.. can't remember now. they have a web site.

Thanks for the info!!!

I have a friend who has zoomies on his '32 roadster, and I know he has baffles inside, just not sure what type. They aren't obnoxiously loud, so whatever he's using it works.

[toddboetzel]

Thanks what an awesome forum I really appreciate all the fast responses!! Thanks again

I forgot I had posted this video on YouTube of My T idleing in the driveway with the Zoomies on. I'm in the process of tearing down this car and rebuilding it. New engine will be a Blown 406 cu in using a Dart Block.
