Looks great out on the MT WASH scenic autoroad......the road looks alot different without 6 feet of snow piled up...
Question,did you go back with a single resonator muffler or duals and is it a Pypes system ?
Also,and this is for anyone to respond to.....I know this has been addressed many times and I do need to go back to my PHS to make sure how it's worded but my PHS states mine is a "ZONE" car...
What is the difference between a brass hat car and a zone car and does anyone else here have a PHS with that stated on theirs ? (probably the wrong place to ask but I'm still a rookie)

Thanks Ripshin!
I have stock ( RARE) Round port Ram Air exhaust manifolds, with a Gardner Stock exhaust system for 72 HO,( transverse muffler) and for 73 SD without resonators.
The Gardner system was like the old days, fits WITHOUT mods
Be nice to see your PHS, make a thread about it in the main 70-73 section

I had help, but was easy on a 4 post lift. Mine is the same exhaust as NJ has/had put on his 72 T/A. there is pics on that sticky thread at top. He also used it on his "part Duex" 72 formula. He did his all himself on the garage floor, its just that simple to install, IF you folllow directions.

I sure wish there was a way to put a nice big stripe down the middle but it just doesn't fit the formula hoods.....even thought about ghost striping,sort of like Kell did but with white instead....took me awhile just to pick the "red" Ram Air stickers...now thinking about going back to black instead of the red.....or white.....
the 71 fender "grilles" look great on white!

Nice Leigh.

Can you pls post a close up of the hood latches you are using? Open and closed detail photos would be great. What brand/model#/source are they? Remind me of something on a Roadracing Style Sport Bike.

No noxx...that cracked me up....I just found out that one of the gas companies here dropped 100 octane......so I am on a "Happy Gas" search now.....
Is it my imagination or are your sidemarkers on without the parking lights being on or is that just a whacky angle?
