Reply to "Wayne's GT5-S rebuild"

Here's a shot of the light-up cat which served as the header collector. They could be bolted on directly a header flange in case of future replacement needs.

One thing about the emission system exhaust---It tested out as the best flowing mufflers out of the 6 sets tested and the cat headers lost only 2 hp over an open Headman set. The overall emission tested exhaust had less then a pound of back pressure at wide open throttle making it very efficient for the time. Back in 1984, the system took a great deal of time and $$$$ to develop with most of the testing done at the Bendix lab in Troy, Mi. All of the parts that hours of testing devolved were later manufactured in house and instaled on every AmeriSport car. Many direct import cars aslo used this system including all of the Shelby Panteras. The fixtures for the headers, mufflers, and other emission related parts are still packed away for thar California customer that may need a system to keep their car.

The complete AmeriSport emission system had no negative effect on the overall performance of the engines we built during the 80s production and Wayne's car is running proof for those who may get a ride.
