All I know is that it doesn't hit second as hard as it used to.
: That's a myth...Your stock exhaust manifolds provide PLENTY of backpressure...
: : For me happiness comes in the form of some 2 1/4" metal tubing and some weird looking metal boxes. Today i took my first step towards a faster Maverick! I had a 2 1/4" dual exhaust system installed with 2 chamber flowmasters. I never dreamed my car would sound this good. It now "barks" instead of "wimpering." The only thing I don't like is the slight loss in low end torque but a 4V carb should solve that problem! My 302 doesn't sound like a 6cyl anymore! Sorry about this long post but I had to share my happiness with someone who might appreciate this. Thanks for all the help with my exhaust questions over the past weeks.
