<< $$$$$  Is that correct?    You're stating that in Kirk's apparently

extensive dyno testing of Pantera exhaust systems showed *only* a nine

horsepower difference.  An impressively small difference given the

reputation of 180s versus the "lesser" systems.  Any idea when the actual

test results will be published?


>>>I don't know?  Kirk, what say you?  If you send me photos and the raw data 
I can probably turn it into an article for you.


$$$$$  It is discouraging when you bring up historical truths that are

refute contemporary hot rod opinions.........

 
>>>Additionally, 'modern' 180 exhausts seem designed to equalize exhaust 
pulses by having equal-length tubes (supposedly a good thing), but if you take a 
look at a set of original GT40 exhausts, they are all over the place in terms 
of tube length.
