[DeTomaso] Ansa Baffles II

[scott black]

Fred,
   
   
  As you have a motor with forced induction, do you have different requirements than a normally aspirated motor?  I am just curious if you have a great neeed/less need for free flowing exhaust since it seems that turbo and supercharged motors are genterally quieter.  
   
  How does forced induction change things?  Does it matter?

Curious in Texas,
  
Scott  Black

  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.
