Mark,
I have the stock manifold on my 72 6 and had it plazma coated. I then added a
Bell Sport dual exhaust system. The fit is perfect as with all my Bell systems
and the sound is noticeable!
I am not looking for a performance upgrade, just a functional upgrade and I
always wanted a car with a "true" dual exhaust.
Actually to soon to tell with the sound as I have only run the engine about
1/2 hour total in my garage but it sounds similar in Dbs to my 3 and 4 which
are equipped with Bell SS systems.
It will be awhile before I hear it on the road.
Bob
