It would pick up 0.2-3 sec open headers over closed exhaust with mufflers and pipes still on the car. While swapping tranny and convertor noticed mufflers and tailpipes were rusty so pulled the whole system off. Took it to the track and did some tuning. Then add a 3" Dr. GasX and 3" Ultraflows into 3" Torque Tech mandrel tailpipes. Even with the additional weight of the system the car ran identical. 1/8 6.9s @ 99-100 1/4 10.90s @ 123 with that motor.

I believe you.

But I was not there.

Retune & Rejet often required.
