Exhaust question

Just out of curiosity, I was told that the power gains in the later model FC's were not only due to a higher comp. ratio, but a less restrictive exhaust as well..no?

No the power gains were from higher comp rotors and a better intake, not exahust. As far as I know the exhaust was the same for all 2nd gens.

I don't know how you got that information, but the FCs are one of the cars that have the most increase in power from free-flowing exhaust systems.

I think he's referring to a less restrictive stock exhaust for 89-91 and sideways is pointing out that the exhaust systems for all FC's are the same...Hence no power gain there.
