| Here's my experience:
 
I did a very approximate before and after exhaust test with my car. (Holding a 
stop watch while driving from 5 to 80 MPH.)
 
The "before" system was stock for a 72 - dual exhaust manifold and pipes with 
muffler.
 
The "after" system consists of Triumph Tune 6-2-1 header (ceramic coated) and 
Triumph Tune single 2 1/4" stainless exhaust with a free flow silencer. It's 
fairly loud but not awful.
 
I forget the exact ET's, but I do recall that the "after" system shaved nearly 
a half second off the ET compared to stock. I ran each test 3 times on the same 
stretch of road. This was not a truly scientific test, but it was enough to 
satisfy me.
 
The TT headers needed some tweaking to fit, but I have no complaints about 
them. Good quality stock and flanges. The stainless system is a quality piece, 
too. I'd hat to see what these puppies cost now!
