Reply to "SOLD! Complete Mind Train Exhaust system, Stage III Jet Hot Coated Headers, Big Throat pipes, and the crossover/balance tube. Sold!"

I have had the Mind Train system with the crossover on my Pantera for about 30 years. When I had the crossover pipe installed there where two things that were suggested to be done. The first one was to brace the crossover pipe back to the exhaust pipe to keep it from breaking. The second thing was to drill a hole in the lower outer housing of the cross over tube and into the center tube section. The reason was to keep the pressure the equal between the two areas. Without that the heat from the exhaust could actually crush the center tube. Naturally the crossover tube outer housing hole was welded shut after the hole was drilled into the center hole. The crossover tube changed the way the engine sounded in my car, which prior to installation there was a crackling sound with just the Mind Train headers. With the crossover tube installed the crackling sound was gone. Seat of the pants feeling did seem like the car had a bit more low end torque after the crossover tube was installed, but that is not real data.
