[DeTomaso] Ansa Baffles

[F. & D. Terry]

Will,

I posted something earlier about gutted ANSA mufflers and that 
even though the baffles are removed a restriction still remains. 
It has to do with a the protruding square edge of the inlet to the 
two resonators that is very restrictive.

As far as the resonators go, I don't feel they are as restrictive 
as you may think. Consider the sum of cross sectional area of the 
two resonators compared to the cross sectional area of the exhaust 
pipe. I no longer have a set to measure but suspect there is ample 
area in the resonators.

I fabricated a set of 2-1/2" exhaust pipes with a cross sectional 
area equal to two Pace Setter resonators with a 7/8" bore. I 
intend to make the switch from my present pair of resonators at 
2-1/4" each. Unless I miss my guess, I shouldn't loose any power.
