The Ruined Roadster Gets Custom Exhaust - Sounds Like A Real Hot Rod!!!

[@DuckReach432]

Looking good. Nice to see an Iron Trap car that didn't have to be dragged back from initially being a pile of rusty parts.

[@tradrodsandcustoms]

Idk, i have a deep appreciation for the piles turned cars

[@DuckReach432]

@@tradrodsandcustoms Yes, full respect. The 1939 'Forgotten Hot Rod' was a great rebuild to watch, as are all of the others. I just meant good to see a car that they didn't have to get huge hours into before they could start modifying it.

The “Ruined Roadster” is looking really good and sounding great. It’s nice to see a hot rod with nice paint for a change 😊

[@Awsom47Merc]

Perfect Matt ! That's the way we would have done it back in the day . Peace Buddy ! ✌️😎👍

Iron Trap Garage- making flatheads great again!

[@williamoneal2763]

What can I say? ❤ Wow! This little roaster speaks for itself “Loud and clear if needed”. 😊😊

Matt..you are becoming a “Master Pipe Fitter” The trades are proud of your self taught talent ! 😊😊😊😊

[@IronTrapGarage]

Haha thanks!

[@jimstratfordfl]

Sounds great! Nice haircut, Steve.

[@richs7362]

Did not realize it was him until he said his first “yep”. Looks good.

[@gloriasirois6579]

Love Steve's haircut!

[@petercavanaugh6510]

The "sneaker pipes" make me think way back when my uncle had his slab-sided 289 Cobra with sneaker pipes, 4 side draft Webers and a cam. He used to pile a few of us cousins into the passenger seat and go ripping down back roads! That car made a healthy intoxicating noise!

[@ch0pperflip]

Matt is looking exhausted 1:10

[@williamoneal2763]

Better to be exhausted than fuming mad with the outcome.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Matt for the update on the Ruined Roadster !

[@tomfortson5147]

Hey Matt, the exhaust sounds GREAT! At first, I was a bit skeptical about hot rodding that '32 B, but after seeing your approach, I'm a believer! WOW!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@bengone3349]

Nice clean work Matt. Flatheads do have a distinct sound raw or muffled, I like it.

[@TrashcanGarage]

Achieving the perfect exhaust sound is an art. And that one sounds great. 🔊

[@LarryHeagren]

It looks period correct and sounds great.

[@robertszymanski7804]

Matt, you have done a marvelous job with the 32, I'm sure Henry would be proud!!❤❤

[@murdoc6501]

Fantastic job on the exhaust and love that you gave yourself options with the cut-outs! She sounds great both corked and uncorked! Nothing "Ruined" about this roadster build! Just bought some stuff off your Ebay store, helping support the channel and a few less items for you to move to the new parts shop! Go Iron Trap, keep moving forward!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the purchases!

[@kentmckean6795]

You might want to change out the SS plugs for brass plugs. SS on SS is subject to galling and can easily jam up the threads. Brass will be much more forgiving.

[@michaelfinegan4533]

Steve got a haircut, with that slicked back look, it gives him the appearance of a Philadelphia mafioso. Better look out guys, he may be moving in for a "piece of the action"...

[@randomyank7777]

Matt's Muffler Shop ! "No muff too tough , we aim to please !" Lol . Sounds great , both ways . I love the inserts , keeps it simple . A few lights , brakes , & check it out on the road . That engine has a nice gallop to it . With both sides open , it should breathe just fine . Hopefully the "Stop", works as well as the "Go" . Would "juice brakes" ruin it , if it's ruined already ? I'm just glad to see it closer to that first drive slot , again . Drove it as was , after checking , then did the changing . First one I've actually seen you do , that didn't need everything else , before you did the engine . I'll be watching . The only thing I see ruined on your cars , is maybe a point of view . Sounds like a Hot Rod !

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yep juice brakes are on the series of modifications we have planned for “ruining” the car.

[@frankno2plus1]

Experience has shown me when using S/steel threaded anything to always use a little never seize. I've lost count of the number of times when the tread catches on a burr and locks up solid. S/steel looks great and never rusts but the threads can be tricky. But ohh does the UNruined roadster sounds awesome, there's something about the flat heads and there sound that's soo pleasant to the ear..... Great job Mat, you must be EXHAUSTED after all these exhausts you've been doing lately? As an exhaust fitter I feel for you brother.....

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Matt, you're getting so good on the pipes you're catching up to Pan! Congrats!

[@stevenkarnisky411]

It is Steve's poor head that is ruined! The roadster is looking and sounding just fine.

[@chrisburzenski2317]

Nice to see the apprentice - passing along knowledge - very cool!

[@ardaswachter-grene2612]

Perfect placement on the tailpipes for the ruined(haha) roadster

[@robertwells1650]

The "ruined" roadster sounds sweet. Looking forward to seeing it driving around. Cheers

[@rolandtb3]

Loud without the plugs. Sweet deep tone with the plugs in. Sounds great.

[@seanstubley8631]

The exhaust is spot on. Nice work. 👌🏻 Hey some custom pinstriping would look nuts on that. If it ever goes back to og that can be taken off without ruining the pant. Man, it's coming on nice. ❤️👌🏻👊🏻👍🏻

[@IronTrapGarage]

That would be cool!

[@Ecosse57]

dang it sounds good. textbook hot rod through and through.

[@stevefaltis8989]

Flatheads forever, man! Great job, Matt👍

[@pappabob29]

Wow !! Sounds "Awesome" !!! Sounds like it likes the backpressure from the mufflers. Hope that stainless idea works out for you. It seems like the perfect solution but stainless is NOTORIOUS for galling the threads after it's been subjected to a few heat cycles. I worked at a biotech for 23 years. They had lots of steam driven devices such as a "pure steam generator" used for making water for injection. Once a year this equipment needed to be mostly disassembled for preventive maintenance procedures. No matter how much anti-seize they used on the stainless threads, they would "routinely" need to cut stainless pipes and other pieces, to get them apart due to thread galling. A flanged/gasketed cap would serve you much better I'm afraid !! ;o)

[@Grampalele]

I much prefer the capped over the uncapped. I must be getting old....😅

Making a headlight bar and mounting some guides or blc headlights

[@CapnBubbaa]

is this car still using the Model B Gearing in the rear differential?? as I recall they pretty low...

[@IronTrapGarage]

No different than what a 32-v8 had. But we believe this car has been upgraded and doesn’t have real low gears anymore since it was used for “touring” in its last life
