Lou,
I do need to correct you in that I am not a "seller of anybody's parts". I work for Honeywell and have no part in any business. The benefit of this forum is that with all the facts, others can make educated selection of components.
Luckily, I have had the good fortune of being able to ask some manufacturers if they could help many folks, like yourself, willing to test things to help all find out what works and what doesn't. I am glad so many are willing to do so.
I hope you can address the questions I asked previously. What part number muffler did you have from them? They make several (as far as the catalog they just sent to me shows) and it looks as if some are vastly different. Which Walker muffler ended up being the best? Walker makes many and it good to see that you found some that are quiet enough to run. After your controlled testing, you did take into account that the weight by itself contributes to a reduction in MPH and an increase in the ET?" I imagine yours should have weighed at least 90 pounds. Is this pretty close? Can you share what power the engine has and also share some of the other contributing factors that affect the way it reacts with open vs. closed exhaust? Is it 300, 400, 500, or 600 HP? All these things matter for people that want to duplicate the system. Exhaust, like any other modification, (heads, cams, carbs, etc) are related to and affected by many other things. Unfortunately, your car did not act like most I have seen, read about, and seen tested. That is the way things go sometime. Thanks for providing the information. Can you still email the photos to me (
