Dave,

I'm pretty sure the Falcon SS for the TR4 is identical to the factory
system used on a TR3.  At least thats what the Moss catalog shoes.  So
if your experience holds true then the sound should be what I'm hoping
for.  Although the one difference being the header that I have vs a
cast iron manifold.  It will be interesting to see if that makes a
difference in sound.

Thanks for the feedback,

Brad
