Well guys,we finally bit the bullett and got the exhaust made for my sons 86 fury,318 HP police special.Went with stock early model 340 manifolds and 2 1/2" pipe back to the middle of the car-to 2 resonator looking no-name mufflers that my son found in a catalog (look like glasspacks,but are straight thru and barely baffeld at all) and used turndowns till he can afford tailpipes.This thing sounds awsome! And I've had alot of hp mopars in the past, and it sounds as good as any of my early small block 340"s .Could not believe the differance in 60 ft times. So,gone are the maxi-restrictive dual cats on the factory manifolds and also gone is the middle larger cat,which we are saving for daily driving and inspection purposes.All this keeping in mind that were building this one for weekend grudge races at the local track,and using it "occasionally" during the week end for spare transportation.We dont condone any modification of emissions legal parts out loud,but what a differance!Next is a gear change (probably a whole axle) and a much looser converter.Want to get this 3600 lb hog into the 13's by end of summer.Long,long way to go.
