    Default Batteries,Exaust, LOUDER?

    Someone told me that you can put 9 volt batteries in your exaust and it will eat the muffler inside and make your exaust louder, whats the truth to this?

    Might work....but how do you get the battery out when you are done? What do you do when you fail the noise test randomly administered at some chicken coops?

    Batteries in the exhaust? What a dumb idea. The thinking behind it is that the battery would contact the metal inside the exhaust and the current from the battery would enhance the corrosion. First of all, you have a slim chance of dropping the battery in such a way that contact is made consistently. Even more important, there isn't enough power in a 9 volt battery to set up and maintain a corrosion cycle for anything more than a minute or two.

    If it is your truck and you want 'louder' (God only knows why) then go and get yourself a set of straight pipes.

    Oh, it's a company truck? Then leave it the hell alone and stop trying to find ways to vandalize equipment.

    I've never heard of 9 volt batteries in the exhaust. Golf balls in a car exhaust to have a CANNON effect when they step on the throttle... And, from the way I've had them tell me to get the water out of the exhaust after a truck wash, I don't expect the battery would stay there long after you start to pull a hill at full throttle either. I'd be afraid of what it might hit when it came out.

    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)

    Cmon driver what are you 9 years old!

    Why don't you just get a baseball card and clip it to the fender with a clothespin so it hits the lugnuts as they go around!

    I've never heard of that. I don't think I would try that, especially a company truck. If you want to be louder, run straights. If it is a company truck, ask the shop if they can run straights.
