[Desert Dan]

Take off the chrome

[Steve - SanJose]

I'd add some chrome and do the dual exhaust setup. It would sound great!

[stagger_lee]

headers and turn downs right under the cab. :fdance:

Custom headers shooting up and out the fake air breather vents!!

[timgco]

I'd also add a coil/ sparkplug setup to the pipes so you can blow flames out the rear. :giggling:

So hypothetically, SB Chevy is SB chevy so it should just bolt right in. We should be able to swap out the 5.3 and put in the LS7, change the PCM, have PCMForless :twak: write us up a killer program, make a few mods to the hood, the steering system and who knows what else, and have a 400+ HP H3, all for only $13k over stock?

SIGN ME UP!!

Don't forget new axles and a different trans.

[Huck BB62]

I'll be happy with the 5.3. It will get the PCM for less treatment and a new exhaust soon afterwards. Probably a 3" single Dynomax (more efficient, sounds good, zero resonance which I truly hate) unless the Alpha comes with dual. I don't like my machines loud, particularly for no reason.

The new 6.2 and six speed in the H2 is an amazing combo too. The Denali just well might be traded in for one of those or the new Sierra Denali (lighter, same hp and tranny = bonafide hot rod).

[Diabolus]

First thing is 35s. Then exhaust, maybe intake...:D

No duals on this. More bends and turns than a snake. I really don't know if duals would fit between body and frame. VERY tight fit.

Huck you would hate my Chopper. Twisting the throttle on that S&S is reason enough for me.

Wood choppers are loud for a reason. I like 'em!

No, I really don't like loud machines. If so many cops weren't going through midlife crisis and riding cruisers with straight pipes themselves, they would enforce the law. I got pulled over half a dozen times in the late 70s for my enduro being too loud and it's not half as loud as the "Look at me, ain't I sump'n" machines on the road now. I'm not one for annoying people around me with my toys. When I'm carvin' with my saws, or practice shooting, I wait until I know it's late enough in the morning so as I don't disturb them.

I had headers on my last Scout II, it was horrible in the morning. It had dual glass packs and the jets in the carb were too large. I took those stupid fuggin' things off and had the local exhaust whiz put a 3" dynomax on it. Sounded just right and quit beatin' on my neighbor's windows when I went to work.

My big Can-Am with it's v-twin is really quiet. No need to run around the mountains making all the noise I can. It runs off the animals and makes me deafer than I already am (which is pretty darned deaf enough)

One thing I don't understand about the hogs out there, can't they idle? Is there a reason a chimp in his crotchless pants and chromed cap has to sit at a light and work the throttle the whole time he's waiting?

Straight pipes actually waste power unless you're near redline all the time, Harleys don't do THAT well so what's the point if it's not narcissistic behavior?

Yeah, I'm yankin' your chain on this one.:giggling: I figure there's one or two laws that you wouldn't like me breaking too.

Poor poor pitiful me right?!?:crying:

[blindzebra]

one will be mine. Oh yes, one will be mine

:giggling: :giggling:

That's damn funny. You are definitely a man with opinions, I 'm glad you are not King.

Having been riding and wrenching bikes for decades, I'm not into the recent "chopper chimp" assless chaps look (I blame that ridiculous American Chopper crap). I've ridden many different bikes, from Suzuki R/M's, to Suzuki 1000 GSX and an R1. I've had several cruisers also, but now that I'm middle aged :shhh: (40 next month), I have mellowed out now. I like my rigid framed all black badass. I put two step Martin Brothers Medustas pipes on my 107" S&S. They are drag pipes but certainly not straight.

I've dropped several bikes in my life, enough that I don't want to do that anymore. The last time it happened was about two years ago, when a 17 year old girl talking on her cell phone made a left hand turn out of a parking lot, directly into my path. She left me 30 feet to react at 40 mph. She said she didn't see me. Maybe if she would have heard me, I could have avoided that six months off of work and the damaged disks in my back, and all that nasty blood.

To each their own I say, I may occasionally burp the throttle at stop lights, but I also love the sound of an old Big block or a modern LS also. Let em rip, just don't endanger others, and I won't get too excited.

Goin' down is NOT fun! Loud pipes wouldn't have saved you. They're particularly noisy and bothersome to only people next to them at a stop light or people out in their yard enjoying the day. Due to the doppler effect, windows rolled up, inattentiveness due to cell phones and my other nemesis boom boom stereos, the loud pipes won't help at all.

So, they hurt horsepower and sound bad.

Huck, you're alright.

By the way, IF IT'S TOO LOUD, YOU'RE TOO OLD! :giggling:

My deafness wouldn't have anything to do with my motorcycles, shooting, or sitting in front of WALLS of speakers in my youth during concerts....

I have XM crankin' on the stereo right now.... I don't think many other people can hear it though!

Yeah, we temporarily hijacked this thread. I guess if you wanted to talk about the H3 Alpha, you were gonna have to resort to one of the other dozen threads about it.

Sorry, we can return you now to your regularly scheduled program. :D

Paint it Shadow Green!!!

wish it had a manual tranny

continue to wait for a serious off road suspension lift and winch bumper

the 2nd thing I'm gonna do is buy an FJ Cruiser because I'm sick of waiting for off road companies to make good hardware for the H3

Is anyone else tired of waiting for "the good stuff" and meanwhile having to make trips to the dealer to fix little (and big) problems
:crying: :violin:

I will see if the V8 needs its cylinder heads replaced:)

A front locker would be nice!

So you think the 5.3 is a new design or something?

A front locker's GOING to be nice. The new front end is compatible so it's no big deal now.

So, a V8, front and rear lockers.... where's the competition now?

[Desert Dan]

The cylinder head comment was a joke!

ehhh those are hill scoggin cruiser riders saying those myths.. i mean cmon, wearing a helmet Blocks Your Ability to See or Hear Danger????

If you ride without a helmet you are definetly a high rolling gambler, i wont play when the stakes are that high

hahaha! cmon i ride a sportbike with a modified exhaust and have never gone down, and i dont plan on it either. and i dont need to knock on wood, however i can understand why people who modify their exhausts tend to go down more just probably because those people that do modify their machine typically "use" them more than the rookie who rides a stock bike with fender intact a yellow safety jacket, and chicken strips on their tires that are 2 inches wide. thats one thing about motorcycles i like when seperating the trash talkers from the actual do'ers the chicken strips dont lie. i know my point may not be very clear but i tend to be long and drawn out when i tell stories so if you want me to elaborate just ask and ill try to cover everything and you can sift thru my babble when you have time ;):jump:
