Crossfire dual exhaust

[ZV 5.4L]

Has anyone tried the crossfire dual exhaust for the N? Does it add any HP or just noise?

Those who have been separated from their cash to acquire one will tell you that it added HP they can feel. For the rest of us, who have examined the tiny little exhaust passages in the N block, we only admit to noise, which in some cases has been known to add psychological HP.

Chicks probably dig it!

I bought one several years ago, love it never looked back. I cannot say it adds HP but I can attest it will pull a 2-14 in hard ground and never slow down. Joe

Bingo!

Looks and sounds cool but no measureable HP increase.

Mine does that EZ with a stock set up 8)
does that mean with the big stacks i could pull three 14's in hard ground and never slow down

A bud of mine with more money than brains just brought one of them set up's,,, I know well what a Harley sounds like,,, we will see if their claim holds up

 

[Anonymous-0]

the stock exhaust system is far more than adequate
for 25 hp

Yo ! Think about it, the 'chicks' that hang with this crowd........????? Most of 'em don't even know how much of the family fortune has been injected into the 'hobby', if they ever find out, the homless shelters would be overflowing !

 

[Ultradog MN]

You say you're looking for more HP?
I'd say your N plus the price of the Crossfire will just about get you a Jubilee or 600. The extra 10 hp will come with no extra noise and live hydraulics to boot.

e!!, the only country chicks I'd probably find wouldn't have any teeth! :roll:

 

[Mr. Bob]

I added one of these to my 2N a few years back, and am very satisfied. I can only speak from my own experience in saying that there IS an increase in power. My 2N scales in at 3600# less driver and will now pull a steep hill in 3rd high(Shermsn) that it wouldn't come close to pulling before without shifting. This is a "work tractor" that is used for jobs both heavy and light. As for the sound of the exhaust, I don't care one way or the other. I simply like the increased performance provided.

Needs to be put on a dyno, this would answer this question once and for all.

 

[Mr. Bob]

If you were to call Mr. Tom Armstrong at "N Complete", he could tell you the dyno results. I've talked with him and he seemed very helpful.

Mr. Bob, I can't trust the salesman for his own products.

That would be like trusting congress on the need for their own raises.

Which somehow we do.....

 

[Mr. Bob]

Dunk,
I thought about it also. However it would be very poor business practice to give one person false info in order to make a sale in case that person discovered that they got the "shluck" and spread the word. All in all,it's a judgement call. All I can say is that my tractor has shown a quite noticable increase in performance. I ran it both before and after under like circumstances to bring me to this conclusion. Actually I don't care for the increased noise, but I like the increase in power.

That would b a "Loud noticeable increase in performance"

Noise does lead one to think he has more power :idea:

Same with guns,,, a 22 has more penetrating power than a 30/6 ,myth buster had it on one of their showes

the 30/6 did have a louder bang tho

Anybody have any pics of the dual exhaust on a tractor?

(quoted from post at 12:53:20 03/25/09) Anybody have any pics of the dual exhaust on a tractor?

here are duals:
AND you can see where the extra HP comes from!

Or perhaps you were looking for this:

Or for even more HP from LOUD:

 

[JMOR]

.....and LOUDER! Still working on LOUDEST!

 

[Hick-From-Hell]

Nice, on the first pics, is that the regular N engine? two manifolds to be true dual?

 

[JMOR]

(quoted from post at 14:58:56 03/25/09) Nice, on the first pics, is that the regular N engine? two manifolds to be true dual?

It should be clear, which are V8 engines and the other two are standard N engines, the one with mufflers & manifold from external_link, I believe I recall and the one with vertical straight pipes/same side has a split manifold with original outlet plugged & two outlets welded it.....owner said, "a real attention getter".

 

[Hick-From-Hell]

So any dual exhaust with a pipe one each side is not an origonal N engine?

(quoted from post at 15:23:17 03/25/09) So any dual exhaust with a pipe one each side is not an origonal N engine?

Probably should never say never, but I haven't see an original 4cyl N with one on each side. Guess you could cross over to left side with one of them and have one each side out the rear?

Yeah, I was at a listening session with Russ Feingold over the weekend and somebody asked about that.

Some reference to his fellow D, Barney, I guess.

Nice price tag on that system, would love to hear what they sound like. Might get annoying working on the tractor all day.

Better sound good enough to give me that fuzzy feeling for that much.

You want the 'feeling' and the heart rate? This will get-'er-done!

and I was just a passenger! Son's toy.

 

[Hick-From-Hell]

Seatbelts in that one? I would need something to hold on to.
