HAhahaa.....Anyway i was talking to a buddy of mine at his shop and he notices my muffler was pretty small (bout the size of...hmm maybe a large vcr), I had just finished telling him how my torque sucks (86' 305 tpi a little tired) so he told me that my muffler being so small could be killing my torque any truth to this?

Read up on my thread about backpressure:

You muffler being "small" has nothing to do with torque.

you know urbanhunter, thanks to your topic about back end pressure and the lot, I got into an argument with my friend saying that "oh the bigger the cat. converter is the more loq end torque you lose"

I simply called the flag on that one and I explained to him why but he still insisted.


Life sure is great
