yep, at the manifold end, so it wasnt dragging, but scraping on the floor..

it fell off before because a clamp broke, i think its just sheared off now.

time for a stainless system, which equals £££'s [:'(][>:]

my point exactly. if the mustang isnt a mucle car then the charger, challenger and comaro arent either. there are no mucle cars!

When you guys know what defined muscle cars of that era you will understand.

Muscle cars were heavy cars with huge power.
Mustangs were light and still are relatively light, (to other cars)....

Mustangs were and are pony cars.

You are right somewhat......they are still debating if pony cars should be inculded in the muscle car section..

below off of wiki..

Though the notion of a muscle car as an American two-door with a big engine sold at an affordable price for street and drag racing is generally held, there is much blurring around its edges.

According to a contemporary issue of Road Test magazine (June 1967), a "muscle car" is "Exactly what the name implies. It is a product of the American car industry adhering to the hot rodder's philosophy of taking a small car and putting a BIG engine in it [...] The Muscle Car is Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face of the 98 hp (73 kW) weakling."[7] Author of the book Muscle Cars the quote is drawn from, Peter Henshaw, furthers that the muscle car was designed for straight-line speed, and did not have the "sophisticated chassis", "engineering integrity" or "lithe appearance" of European high-performance cars[7]

Opinions vary as to whether high-performance full-size cars, compacts, and pony cars qualify as muscle cars.[8]

I view a muscle car as any car that has a ton of power and is a classic American car.

my view is simular.the way i see it a muscle car is a rwd with twiced the hp of an average economy car of the same year. it really bugs me when people call mustangs spots cars, a sport car is a car with more hp than an economy car of the year and handles well at speed. simply put, a sports car is for the road course and a muscle car is for the 1320.

Been watching a little NCAA hoops...I end up watching less and less every year though (used to watch it a ton). Glad to see Purdue made it through 2 rounds! Bummer that Dayton lost yesterday, but at least they won one (I grew up in a Dayton suburb, so am a fan). They almost never make the tourney!
