Hey guys, for a start i have a weakness for the Boss 302 side exhaust (",). . . Soo i was wondering will i see higher numbers on dyno with the open exhaust or a mufflered exhaust will do better. Knowin that i dont care about the fuel. . . And ohh yeah am havin the kooks long tube headers. .

Your help.in this matter is well appreciated :-)

You going to have a Boss over in S.A. or are you talking about a GT-500? I was stationed there in 1990-91 and wished I had had my 1990 LX 5.0 with me to drive. Everywhere I went outside the city was with the gas petal on the floor in the little import cars we drove. I basically had to learn to drive all over again once I was back in the states. My wife thought I was crazy always blowing my horn and flashing the lights at left lane bandits on the highway. First time I blew by somebody in the "Saudi" passing lane on the interstate I thought she was going to have a heart attack. Fortunately I calmed down and learned to drive in the states again (LOL).

 

To get back to your original question, I don't know that the side exhaust will gain you hp, but my buddy has one with the side exhaust unplugged and it sounds awesome.

I stayed mostly in Eskan Village, about 18 miles from downtown towards Al Kharj. I was all over the country though at one time or another and spent a little time in the two countries north of S.A. also. I worked at the RSAF HQ building downtown for the Airlift Division in the Air Force.

 

I remember some of those big Mercedes-Benz's passing on the left side in the emergency lane if you didn't pass the guy in front of you fast enough. We called it the Saudi passing lane. I remember I kept track of all the Mustangs I saw while I was there. I only saw about 15 or so and they were all Fox-Bodies and mostly 5.0 LX Coupes. I only saw one GT and no hatchbacks. :shift:

The Shelby was a 30th Anniversary surprise from my wife. She had worked a deal with the dealer and the red ribbon was an extra cost option she ordered through them. I was shocked, extremely pleased, and still very happy one year later. :worship::wub:
