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.

SS is not like regular steel that hardens if you quench it after heating.


Unlike martensitic steels, the austenitic stainless steels are not hardenable by heat treatment as no phase changes occur on heating or cooling. Softening is done by heating in the 1050/1200°C range, ideally followed by rapid cooling.

Hi Phil!

There is a clamp with a non-metallic liner available that should make an improvement.
