After owning this RS for 43 yrs with 375k on the odometer, it still passes the Cali tough smog test and I mean strict air quality!

Crossing my fingers for Jay Leno's law to get passed.

I replaced the direct-fit catted midpipe 30 yrs ago (original damaged). The upper is original.

I added a Y-pipe with 2 Super 10s and Stainless GT pipes. Got rid of the single muf and tail pipe.

I would put shorties and xpipe, but not CARB for my year Foxbody. I don't beat on it, just cruise, and lazy shift just to listen to that fabulous sound of a 5.0 V8. I did all that hot rod stuff when I owned a '68 Fastback Mustang in the mid '70s.

Capri new in 82.
'65 Ford Econoline (brothers).
'70 Torino moms car (302).
