RE: Duel exhaust on an SE?
ORIGINAL: RoswellGrey
No, it had duals. The first three exhaust-port tubes came together in one collection bucket and the back three came together in another. Hence, two glass packs and two exhaust pipes leading out the side a la the Challenger TA. Very advanced technology for 1972. I got the idea from an article I saw in Motor Trend or something that was titled, "Maverick: Tricks with a Six," and since somebody was selling the headers, I, naturally, had to try it. It didn't do a lot for performance, but the sound was impressive.
Interesting. I too had glass packs and they will make any exhaust sound bad especially when the fiber glass wears and is blown out. It then gets really loud.
As for no performance increase that does not surprise me since going from single to dual does not really move any extra air.
Kinda like getting new headers on a 5.7L, as stock are already good enought unless you move more air via power adders.
It is fun to experiment.
