Cool video, some interesting cars there. I watched all of them. I have aquestion to ask that I have always wondered the answer to. Please I hope no one takes offense to it but I have to ask. Why is it that mopar guys really seem to like to run thier cars with open headers? Seems that the percentage of Mopar racers with mufflers is very very low. I am just curious...

Al my car I had to run open headers and I really didnt want to. I installed a pinion snubber on the rear and my muffler was in the way so I had to drop the exhaust. My car runs better with it on.. But my race cars I always ran open headers with collectors..

Just curious more than anything. FWIW I have not run a car with open headers in probably 20 years. I prefer to be the quiet assassin

Yeah, I prefer the muffler cars for sure. I try to run mine all the time. HOWEVER many times I run out of time and load up the car with out the exhaust. Last time out she was nice a quiet.

Fred I am not a Californian by any means. They actually do not require mufflers at either track except the street nights. On bracket days they are not required. BTW Military is what has us here in Cali and it wont be for much longer

Anyway I am a midwesterner, and ran them there as well. A good muffler should not slow the car down. In fact the street car is almost to quiet, but still manages 10.20's on a good day running CA pump swill.

because 96.854% of muscle cars have mufflers on the street..
i appreciate hearing these beast run uncorked..?

could care less about modern muffs make more power yada yada..
I want to hear it...
i can hear muffled cars on the street everyday..
its a treat for me...

fwiw..i have a complete 3.5" muffled sytem on the duster...(its off right now)
so i am not an "anti muff notzy"..
i just thoroughly enjoy the sound...of open headers on most cases....(at the track atleast)
