Reply to "Exhaust Systems - Theory"

Dunno- any exhaust's power-enhancing capabilities needs to reference all the OTHER associated components to work better than stock. It would take a dyno to prove any advantage of one type of muffler over another, I suspect. Another thought-,how much noise can you & your local police tolerate? New noise requirements are due to be phased-in for 2004, according to some reports. As to your second & 3rd questions, all Pantera engines were pulled directly from Ford's assembly line with no extra work done. The Pantera engine plate carried the block number ID, but thats all- the engines were garden-variety. The stock engine red-line was dependent on the hydraulic lifters & single valve springs included; no known Boss-351 solid lifter engines were ever factory-installed. Note-the only finishing Pantera Gr-4 at the '72 LeMans 24-hr race ran one of these assembly-line engines after all the 'built- engines' were over-revved and destroyed.
