just thought id put up the photos of the factory exhaust. (showing that solenoid)
not the best in terms of engineering and flow, but it sounds alright. in the photos note a few things, the solenoid, the strange crossover design, and the 3" factory rear section. that weird solenoid in the muffler 
twin 2.25" (?) with the strangest "crossover" ive seen - its like a 'H' not the usual 'X' 
then goes to 3", so thats a bit more respectable

Ive seen quite a few cars with the "h" crossover, its there just to balance out pressure and nothing else where the "x" crossover is there to do the same but also promotes exhaust scavenging too.
But yeah also the restrictin (if there is any) would be in the 3" rear that the twin 2.25" section as when you do the maths the twin 2.25" has a larger area than the 3". But also, Do you have a sound clip yet Matt? I bet it sounds better than the EF on the Gate!

yeh my car has the 'H' bit in the middle thought it would be the same as the 'X' crossover. sound file already!

doubt there would be much restriction in a 3 inch piece at the tail. its good to downsize the pipe towards the back as it keeps flow rate up, without bothering flow too much (will a little at full noise). towards the back gasses begin to cool and become dense. if it were twin 2.25 all the way to the back the flows would slow a lot more at lower rpm, resulting in a loss of lower rpm torque, but gaining higher rpm power. I guess ford shot for the middle mark with the flow at the front and velocity at the back.

Yup like i said (if there is any).
But they have come along way in a few year with exhausts, ill never forget the first time i saw the crushed tube headers.

The H-pipe is actually the most common setup. Besides, ive never seen a discernable difference between H and X configuration pipes. Usually this is because the advantage is gained by having the pipe from each side join together as close to the engine as possible.
It's easier to get a H-pipe closer to the engine than an X-pipe. I think that's a pretty good exhaust for a factory car. Those mufflers are sold in the Ford racing catalog. |
