Never seen any dyno sheets, but yeah, I've heard quite a few say it helps to open up the system, compliments a nice header/muffler. Broadens the tq range.

YES. Especially if you are converting over from the 75/76 crap they put on these cars.

Granted, this is not backed up by anything. But. A few years ago there was a dyno test run by someone, somewhere so see what provided the most power. It may have even been Jake, but I dunno - so I'll stick with "someone."

SSI and a Bursch gave + ~3hp, and was the best option out there if you wanted to keep heat. To get more, you had to go get headers.

Now, don't ask me to find or verify the source.

When I swapped OEM HEs for SSI on my then 2.0L car, there was a slight improvement in performance. If you get a chance to hold an OEM and SSI heat exchanger, you'll notice how much less the SSI weighs. I think it was Colin Chapman who used to say 'add lightness'. The SSI might flow better (I really don't know) but the weight savings sure helps when you don't have much horsepower.

I never felt anything on the buttmeter, but they heated up the interior in about a minute; nice warm fuzzy feeling

I lined the inside of my SS heat exchangers with little tiny ball bearings that spin to allow the exhaust stream to exit the heat exchangers at a much higher velocity.

I think that they doubled my power at the very least according to the latte-o-meter which splashed hot latte in my lap from the increased power.

When the spinning turbo prop is placed on the end of the exhaust pipe, I expect the exhaust gasses to spin the prop and to increase the exhaust flow even more.

At some point, I expect the gas tank to start filling up from the increased efficiency.

How about backdating the 75-76 2.0 to the 73-74 exhaust? How much difference does that make (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
