Re: [DML] Advantages of Spec .01 Exhaust

Bill - I can't believe you would promote this exhaust modification. You do know that the car would no longer be "true and correct original condition" after the installation of the dual exhaust. You might as well suggest that the owner install a (gasp) carburetor!

During the conversion is a perfect time to correct that particular aspect of bad design. Not only do you gain working space, but you eliminate damaging heat. Putting a new muffler back where the old one was makes as little sense as putting Grade 10.9 bolts back in the trailing arms, or putting in a new plastic clutch line.
