.........This is true, but manufacturers
must get them somewhere, why couldn't we? Also, as
another list member suggested, why not do away with
the restrictive upper heat exchanger anyways? I had
a serious look at my spare set the other night and I
find it hard to beleive these things will let the
engine flow well at all. Looked very restrictive to me.
As long as it was manufactured to still use the lower
exchangers, it's all good. This issue of a proper
performance exhaust for our cars is something we've
been pondering for a long time. Who better to design
one than all of us? I say we go for it. Like I said,
I'm willing to help any way I can.
