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.
