v-8 exhaust
 

My CJ-7 has a V-8 with a GM TH400 automatic tranny (with quadratrac). I have
tried to find a standard crossover pipe for the exhaust but all of the
websites with parts say that the crossover is for a 3 speed manual
transmission only. I need to silence the beast a little and I cannot locate
the proper crossover pipe. Can anyone tell me if I can get the proper
crossover? The alternate that I have found is the system by pacesetter that
consists of headers and duals. I only want to get that if it silences the
beast enough to hear myself think (or my wife talking in the passenger seat)

What do you think?

Thanks.

Chip

Go hit up a local mom-and-pop muffler shop. They can fab one up.

Headers and duals would help free up some more power but probably not
silence anything. Add some glass packs and ... :)

Google for DeadMat or DynaMat. Not cheap, but glue this to the floor above
where the pipes run, stick some on the inside of the doors, etc. and you can
really make the vehicle a lot more quiet. It's the stuff I used to deaden
my ZJ for IASCA competition.

I use one, all new cars with dual exhaust will have one, too. As it
makes horsepower with an otherwise clogged system. I think your best bet
would have your local shop do it.
