balance pipe | The De Tomaso Forums

Guest

Has anyone out there either installed, or has seen a balance pipe between the two header pipes? If so are they worth the trouble, and does it affect the sound? I just can't see how to install one with out hitting the trans..Going under the trans. would make it to low and also look bad.
Cheers

Two guys have them that I've seen. Both have the balence pipe plumbed behind the trans but ahead of the mufflers. With the design of the Pantera, you are forced to either run it under the trans or behind. Neither is ideal but.... One balence pipe is made from a glaspak muffler. Whether they do anything for torque is unknown- needs a dyno comparison to prove its worth rigged this way. There may be 1 dB of noise drop as well. Cheers- J deRyke
