CORVAIR 3.1 EXHAUST SOUND

Big bore Corvair - Otto 30 cam - headers & Supertrapp muflers

[@RacerX-124]

I love how quickly and freely it revs. Sounds great, bet it's fun to drive.

[@papioscarw]

Damn I thought I was the only person that had a Corvette and Corvair at the same time. Love them Chevys. Mine was a 63 Monza 900 and the Vette a 75.

[@steven-vn9ui]

Looks gorgeous, at any speed.

[@69roadr]

thumbs up! that is one awesome sounding Corvair.

[@jimwalter5498]

Had a 66vair set up for road racing, single boom tube that made beautiful noice...was in Seattle and 1968 a minute before i went into the army for twenty...needed transpo to LA..found a 60vair for $65,,,drove it to induction statation gave it my brother...came back from Vietnam

[@SoI_Badguy]

Such an underrated and misunderstood car

[@billpapps4345]

Pure like a kitten yet roar like a lion. Love it.

[@frankpatraziebe5515]

Purs like a Lion with a low growl.

[@synthpro]

Best sounding Corvair I have heard, very nice work.

[@marioeid930]

"Cold out here thats why there so much steam" thought you blew a headgasket😂

[@upsidedowndog1256]

It sounds similar to opposed aircraft engines. I was in a rear end collision in a car like this in the 70s, the engine pushed the seat over my cousins and I in the back seat. We were ok, I think they are cool still today.

[@barryismygod]

Funny you say that these motors have been used in light aircraft

[@Creeperboy099]

Ah, perfect license plate for that infamous car Despite all the complications, this engine layout and design fascinated me for being unique- never seen the fan placed on top of an air cooled horizontal shaft engine

[@wolfhobbies]

They all are. The VW uses a duct. Porsche used the exact same on the the flat 12 on the 917

[@krystalstarrett6760]

Beutiful...we, uh my big brother, had a 1964 turbo 1 baral side draft carb Corvair. We were aircraft techs. Scratch built a side draft intake for a 4 brl down draft. We can relate to your labor of love.

[@chrismoody1342]

I owned a 66’ Monza in high school. I loved that car even thought it wasn’t a rocket. Carved turns like a champion. Would love to own another one. Just something all guys feel about their first car bought with their own money; nostalgia ?! 😎

[@danb.3397]

We were messing with Corvairs back in the 70's and it was fun especially the rail dune buggy I built with "weedcutter" headers but that "twisted" fan belt had to go because we spun them off every time we redlined it.

[@calicoastin7015]

What a beauty! That sound is music to my ears!

[@DEW409]

That thing sure catches RPM quick. Must be a blast to drive.

[@brucecarney4416]

I have used supertrapp exhausts in my Harleys for decades. they are great for midrange grunt and smiling neighbors!

[@the.porter.productions]

Now that sounds pretty cool! Been a while since I’ve seen a Corvair engine, but never a setup like that. Nice! 🥰

[@williamoverton1548]

I thought pikes peak was in Alaska until I got hooked on corvairs!

[@davekostka7151]

I had a '65 Monza. It cornered better than most of the cars I owned.

[@TheEDNC]

I like the huge oil splat on the floor under the right cylinder bank!

[@raymondclark1785]

After my ex ran mine without the fan belt I couldn't get rid of the burt oil smell but it never leaked

[@BeachBumRAP]

At 2:17 -- VROOM VROOM!! Don't forget to carry a spare fan belt with you.

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

They were problems? I'm intrigued by the way the four pulleys were in three different planes, if that's the way to express it. Is the belt a conventional V cross section, or square?

[@pathbelow6652]

We have a 66 spider w a 4spd. And engine when received. Rebuild trans. We put a 283 v8 in it. Alum heads alum intake w Holley 650. Alum rad. More room in there than you'd think. Replaced susp. Car handles like a vette. 4wdb. Nader was wrong.

[@gabrielrojas8718]

Hi! I just bought one 1965 corvair Monza. please I need to know the modifications you did to make it sound like that! I love it. thx!

[@rogerdale5451]

It idols at 500. Great car, sounds great. Keep it running until that moisture evaporates. Black means mixture, blue means rings, that was just water. I'm going to have to research these engines... 6er I know, opposing 6? I love the cooling fan and the belt that changes direction. Unique as far as I know. Brilliant. Wouldn't you just love to see Ralph Nader going for a ride? I wonder if he ever drove one...

[@SOU6900]

My dad use to have one of these cars. Gave it to my cousin to give to someone to be made into a competition car sound systems. Don't think it ever ended up happening and think we found in in a neighboring county.

[@maxpenrose9480]

like how ur plate says unsafe

[@culio544]

max penrose they made a book called unsafe at any speed , and it was about the car

[@Zizie_sc]

Izrael Ramirez Gutierrez Olivas I love the way these handle. It’s really just oversteer rather than the, all too familiar at that time, under-steering boats

[@SoI_Badguy]

@@culio544 Yeah, sorry to be that guy but... No shit

[@ronjohns8002]

unsafe at high speed or any speed??

[@leobarajas81]

Sounds badass there is one I want across the street from my house that been sitting since 1974 surrounded by trees and fence line

[@MyEyesBled]

That tach could use a calibration... nice overall job BTW! ... love the color!

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

Less idling, more revving! I bet that sounds even better on the road! 6 cylinder engines sound so good, and that's some fine sounding work you've done. makes me want a '65 or '66 Corsa even more.

[@4406bbldb]

Cold and proper fuel mixture the actually produces H2O. I could listen to this a lot.

[@georgeyoung2336]

She sounds amazing!

[@The_DC_Kid]

I've had three and wrenched all of them. This one is extra sweet.

[@JohnSmith-gr3lf]

WOW, that is awesome and clean too

[@richardwaugh2049]

I used 6 long ram tubes curving around from a center mounted Holly and that ram effect would spin my posi about 3500 every time. Later I put the turbo from a 215 Olds with a 2" SU and went looking for Vetts and 911s or anything else that needed smoking.

[@71Asrogers]

I’m officially jealous. Love these corvairs. Especially with the second gen. Then in the early 80’s BMW ripped off the design nearly verbatim and called it the 6 series.

[@DugEphresh]

LMAO! Thank you I needed that in my life. Meme of the day right here!

[@jamesbond9873]

I had a 69 corvair monza. Wish I still had it.

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Underrated car.

[@mikecampbell9249]

He nonchalantly revs it to 6.5 grand ! Doesn't even miss a lick!

[@alwaysopen7970]

Bet it goes to 9.

[@thetreblerebel]

MSD is a great idea

[@DumbCarGuy]

Nice car. I have one of those corvair magneto systems as well. I can't recall why it was special but i know it is.

[@hillarylevenworth8824]

How's the engine temperature regulation with the missing rear sheet metal and seals?

[@joshuagodsey3731]

Syncing 6 carbs up sounds fun

[@wesleycook3181]

Sounds good. Don yenko would be proud

[@JVONROCK]

They were flippers, the put “dynamic dampers” on all 4 corners, still lots of fun.

Nice cam! Webers too! ... but I would seriously ditch that mechanical fuel pump!

Nice work! Safe at about any speed.

Sounds good when you rev her. Thanks!

[@burtvincent1278]

That's what I remember about mine, oil stain in the driveway. Thought the newer models looked cool tho.

COVAIR ,a Must HAVE

[@stephenwilliams5201]

Yeper mine had stats on the heat riser. Ohio winters were bad till she got warmed up.

[@harryk1769]

I like it, nice work, sounds awesome, but no love for the exhaust outlets

[@formspimp]

sounds great Kevin...............

[@michaelszczys8316]

It’s cold, and the choke is on. Make any motor sound like a real camper. Plus idle is super slow. Still sounds good. When they started making a lot of V6s we used to say they sounded like Corvairs

[@michaelszczys8316]

That ‘ cammer ‘ not camper. ( stupid spell check )

[@1unsafe1]

Weber carbs do not have a choke -- it was cold though !

[@alwaysopen7970]

My Chevy truck does not sound like a Corvair.

[@bryanhallman8183]

How the hell did you get triple carbs to work? I thought the intakes were cast into the cylinder heads?

[@thetreblerebel]

I'd love to have one this cool

[@jcfrank912]

This thing revs like a Ducati

[@916fanatic1]

Lol no trouble keeping the engine cool in Alaska, probably runs great on all that cool dense air.

[@MarkAnderson-vg5vq]

Man that sounds good . What's the torque and horsepower ? Have you ran the 1/4 mile with it ?

[@rudycuevaslopezjr8121]

I just put in a new belt on my 61 corvair, once I put it in and have on drive, just dies instantly

[@johno9507]

AHAHAHAHA what a perfect number plate for the car! 🤣

[@jameserickson1330]

This might be a dumb question, but does it move oil well enough at that lower idle?

[@penguinsscareme]

Showed 40psi at idle, I'm no expert but that seems just fine.

[@lierley1]

your corvair still in Alaska by chance? I got a 66 in Willow . love to chat.

[@NorthernChev]

Is that the 280 grind? The idle sounds very similar to my 140 with the big bore kit and the 280.

[@1unsafe1]

The Otto 30 cam is a split duration and if I remember correctly it is 294 exhaust and 284 intake .

[@joshjodlowski1555]

How hard is it to install those Supertrapp on a normal LM Corvair dual exhaust? I'm looking to get a better sound and this sounds great!

[@alwaysopen7970]

I would work on suspension before "sound".

[@bobbycuesroadhouse2204]

Are those custom heads for the weber triples

[@raymondclark1785]

I thought the steam was from a blown head gasket and coolant getting into the cylinders 😀

[@alex.e7280]

have it supertrappexhaust muffler without diffuser disc ,s ???

[@forelasningarcthlindholmen5642]

Great sound :) Nice registration; Unsafe :) :)

[@walterfranceschini7739]

Much more than the 911!

[@sauluribe7082]

The Corvair made Ralph Nader and his book famous, he made the car infamous. If it's dangerous driving it out on street then God help those driving it in the rain.

[@richardwaugh2049]

On mine I used two 2" SUs on long rams curving around to 6

[@Spooki3Spir3]

I love it!

[@anthonyhunter450]

Man .. that’s sweet 👍

[@scottgolden2766]

Was there machining or welding involved to get those Weber carburetors on

[@1unsafe1]

Yes , some welding and a fair amount of machining . Some Corvair businesses do the work .

[@scottgolden2766]

1unsafe1 Years ago a friend worked at a place called Autoparts in West Covina Ca. He set up heads for the triple Weber's. I think he did port work at the same time.

[@georgebootsweber]

What's your carb setup there? Borla, Solex, Weber?

Webers with 36 mm chokes

[@Randystudio217]

Can you tell us what model webers? Every time I attempt to look for "triple webers" i get results for old Jags and datsuns (3 sets of 2 webers rather than the more porsche-esque setup here)
