ThosD, I think the performance Ares muffler sounds more like what I remember Model A's sounding like when I was a kid, but I am not sure. I don't hear anything like I did when I was a kid. Without my hearing aids I don't hear anything. I can only comment on the different between the stock manifold and Ares performance muffler and headers with a straight pipe. The performance was the same. I think if you were racing and running the engine at 7,000 rpm the headers would help. The subject of having a tuned exhaust system is a whole different topic.

Jeepguy, My Model T club would have technical sessions where a member would invite the club to their house to discuss some issue with their car. The person hosting the technical session would supply lunch, usually BBQ pork sandwiches.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
