180s on the street – does it make sense?

push1267Member

I’ve started looking for an exhaust system for my pantera. It’s going to run a moderately tuned 427 winsor stroker (525 HP).

I’m a big fan of the 180s - love the look and sound and of course they supposedly cures the problems with HP-rubbing small diameter collectors and mufflers.

But does it really make sense on a car that I intend the drive regularly (as long as I use a heatshield) and will I see any performance benefits on a long stroke/ std bore winsor stroker over fx the typical 2.5 inch std style header/muffler system??

Also, I’ve read many of the treads on the subject here on the forum, but miss some comments on how they are to live with when the car is driven often or on longer trips.
