[DeTomaso] 180 sound

[Göran Malmberg]

Well, there is a difference with the set appart and to the side directed 
pipes. Especially
if one is standing one side of the road listening to the car passing by. 
Even as the sound
turns to a different level at higher rpms:s I should newer use anything but 
close straight back
mounted end pipes for 180:s. Or for the sound, better still, running both in 
to a single pipe.
Or else the car sounds as a four cylinder heard from the side.
