[Mgs] FW: exhaust Q

Greetings:



I finally replaced my 1973 MGB muffler with one from Moss. I replaced
the rear muffler as I thought there as a baffle out. It turns out the
front muffler (? resonator) was a mess. In, fact, I believe it was a
Chrysler product and certainly did not fit properly. At that point, I
chose to totally remove the front muffler and run a straight pipe to the
rear (now only) muffler. It runs nice, has a nice little rumble and I am
pleased. After tooling around I started thinking (of course after
welding in the pipe) that these four cylinders tend to like back
pressure (I can near stall it out by covering the tail pipe as it is).
Does anyone think there may be a problem with what I did or do I need to
make some further adjustments as a result of what I did?



Thanks

Steve Johnson in rainy Maine
