compressor from the press

[mjrprint]

We have ours in a small room. Just put a muffler on the big sucker and now I can turn it on without killing my ears. Runs 50% quieter now too.

You happen to have a pic of that?

I can snap one and post it up for ya.

Thanks! I'm gonna have to do that with mine for sure. Did you just piece something together or is something sold like that?

I have the same muffler on our compressor but ten times larger personally it does not seem to help much.

We have a maintenance company that does all our compressor maintenance, gas, etc. I'm pretty sure he pieced it together. I don't think it was specially for our compressor.

It's likely all NPT pipe connections--we have one and had to put together a few pieces to get it up and running.  Didn't help a load, but considering everything was like $75, it was worth it.  Went from a drum roll to a dull roar.

I wonder how much a difference just plumbing the intake away from you it would make.

In Gerry's case he might could just plumb it up high and any muffling effect would be a bonus.

But you are still gonna have that piston next to your head.  Maybe Brian can chime in on such a topic.

The muffler helps on the exhaust sound but it does nothing for the engine running sounds at all, stick your head under a hood of a car when running and see what I mean. I have had our muffler off while running it does make some difference mostly changes the over all sound but the decibal level still seems to be about the same.

[Gilligan]

Engine sound does come from intake side as well.

That's how a lot of those honda boys get that terrible sound out of their car... they take out the airbox which had some muffling properties.

Or you can disconnect the hose and wrap pantyhose around it haha. Thats what we used to do. Most of them install a cone style filter that drops past the radiator and sticks out the bottom. Used to have a friend that had a neon that would beat mustangs and trans-ams by 2.5-3 car lengths in a drag. It was ported and polished to though.

Yeah, Dodge actually came out with the SRT-4 neon that was wicked fast.  The neon name and body style was awful, they should have changed the name and updated the style a bit.

isnt that the PT Crusier ?

[mk162]

nope, but the PT is built on the same frame and same factory.

the SRT-4 was turbocharged.

Chevy did the same thing with the cobalt.  IMHO it's a bad idea to make a turbo version of a crappy sub compact you already have.  Come out with a new model for the turbo version.

The cobalt was actually supercharged. Still a turd though.

[mk162]

so was the Neon SRT4.

i know, i have a friend with one and she paid like 30+K for it.  Wow, good job, you bought a POS platform with a turbo.

for that price I would be riding in something a little nicer.
