Smog Test!

[TuFun]

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.

Mine is total stock from the cat forward.

None of mine is still stock.
After the xpipe I got a SLP loudmouth cat back.

That's awesome! You could fit an IRS back there.

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).

Yeah I did a lot of hot rodding when I was a kid, guess I never grew up.

 

[General karthief]

You have to grow old, you don't have to grow up.

 

[nickyb]

Amen to that. I'm a toys r us kid.

 

[TuFun]

Yep, toys!
