Not Sure To Be Excited Or Worried

That particular engine has two of 'em.. lol
Other than partial deafness and some fumes I wouldn't think there'd be any problems

I stopped after the second line of the first sentence. There's only one sentence.

thanks for the actual input. now I see why people don't ask for help.

My bad man, I thought I gave actual input. Let me reword it without any jokes..You unrestricted the exhaust. It runs better. No I don't think there's a problem. If it's not setting any lights I'd drive on

NO NO NO lol your good bro you misunderstood me lol you gave great input I appreciate it lol.
I was talking about noobz, hes a smart guy he can really help a lot but sometimes I've noticed he just likes to troll instead.

I troll a LOT. There are a ton of folks here with a lot more Mustang knowledge than I have and I defer to those experts quite a bit.

If the technical piece within a thread is solid then sure... I'll make jokes unless it's a technical thread in the technical forum to keep it moving or to bump it up. Otherwise, it's chit-chat. Technical threads are those that ask for or deliver a set of step-by-step instructions for accomplishing a task. Threads that ask for opinion, are not.

Everything done on this forum is of course, done in written word. The clearer it is, the better it is. If it's a mess, I will usually comment about the mess. I'm dammed if I do and damned if I don't try and keep it "light" or "troll" as you call it. I'm a smart-ass if I make light of it or a prick if I state it bluntly.

Anyway, I will convey my message in a way that I think it will be understood. I'm not too concerned about butt-hurtedness. That would be a full-time job and has little to do with forum operation. Many folks actively seek reasons to be butt-hurt.

Look at my post count. Now, how many posts do you think I read in a given day, month, year (rhetorical)? I don't even know... Nearly all of them.

You appear to have some smarts yourself. At least you are here asking questions and not bookface. Work on your written delivery and your posts will get more traffic and better responses.

Ok... if there's sarcasm in that post, I don't see it.

I disagree that "back pressure" increases performance:



Tuned exhaust

A tuned exhaust system is an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine which improves its efficiency by using precise geometry to reflect the pressure waves from the exhaust valve or port back to the valve or port at a particular time in the cycle.

Tuned exhaust systems are common on motor racing engines, light aircraft engines,[1]model engines and two-stroke motorcycle engines, and are not restricted to these applications. They are of two main types:

• In a four-stroke engine, tuned extractor manifolds are used to promote scavenging of the exhaust gases by delivering a pulse of negative pressure just before the exhaust valve closes.

In either case, the efficiency of the system is greatest at a particular engine speed, which is determined by the exhaust system geometry. Tuning the system for best effect is typically done both by calculation during the design of the exhaust system, and by trial and error during engine development.

An important recent development is variable geometry exhaust systems, both for two-stroke and four-stroke engines, which allow the tuning to be effective over a wider range of engine speeds.



Exhaust Scavenging

In automotive usage, scavenging is the process of pushing exhausted gas-charge out of the cylinder and drawing in a fresh draught of air or fuel/air mixture for the next cycle.

This process is essential in having a smooth-running internal combustion engine. If scavenging is incomplete, the following stroke will begin with a mix of exhaust fumes rather than clean air. This may be inadequate for proper combustion, leading to poor running conditions such as four-stroking.

Scavenging is equally important for both two- and four-stroke engines. However it is more difficult to achieve in two-stroke engines, owing to the proximity, or even overlap, of their induction and exhaust strokes. Scavenging is also equally important to both petrol and diesel engines.



Additional Notes

By removing the mufflers, you have changed the geometry of the tuned exhaust. It will not be as efficient at expelling exhaust gasses and will cause lazy exhaust to "hang out" in the exhaust system until it is pushed out. A tuned exhaust system "pulls" exhaust out of the combustion chamber when the exhaust valve opens, by using of the force of the previous exhaust pulse. An exhaust system with too large a diameter for the application will have the same effect.

I moved your thread to talk .. sorry I forgot to mention it..

Tech threads are usually for 'How To' questions. I thought you would get more traffic in talk

Not only that but the question below asks for opinions (hopefully based upon some experience). It's not asking for a list of steps or a troubleshooting procedure like what you might find in a Haynes manual or Ford shop manual but written by anyone. That makes the thread non-Tech.

I checked and cleaned the iac and scanned the obd and came up with nothing but the results of a healthy PI 4.6 2v any ideas ?

You were correct. This kind of question generates a lot more traffic in the Talk section.
