My entire exhaust is not flex tubing.  We welded together some solid tubing 
for part of the exhaust.  A longer portion than needs to be is flex tubing.  I 
mainly used this tubing from Kas's book so that the rocking engine is not 
putting stress on the headers and hangers.

Unfortunately, I have never had my car on a chassie dyno.  Our local guy 
finally got into trouble from running his business out of his house -- probably 
rattling too many other homes and breaking windows.  He has bought an ex-pizza 
shop on Route 88 in Castle Shannon, PA, about one half of a mile from where I 
live.  Before he can start up his dyno, he has to build another room onto the 
back of this building.
