[FC] 140 Rampside-dual exhaust

[Paul Steinberg]

All the old cars that I remember had a crossover pipe that connected between
the mufflers just where they made the bend from coming down from the exhaust
manifolds.  I remember putting those exhaust pipes on cars and it was like
trying to thread a needle.   When you got one side aligned, the other side
didn't want to go into place.  Not to mention..... they were extremely heavy
and awkward for their size.  Paul in CT

  "Too Noisy. I put a dual exhaust that Clarks offers for a Rampside on my
  Rampside.  The description says slightly louder than stock. Well it's way
to
  loud for me....."

  I have duals on my 67 coupe.  I'll be trying a crossover pipe.  I've heard a
  few others have tried this with good results.  Many newer cars with duals
use
  a crossover.  Duals are loud, generally because of the side-to-side
  resonance, not because of two outlets.... The crossover cancels out the
  "harmony".
