[Rare Iron]

We talked about exhaust a little & the mufflers the "stock" Cobras come with. He was too busy to talk with me much & seemed he felt the stock mufflers (built in S. Africa) were adequate flow for most Superformance owners. I got a chance to look at a pair of ceramic-coated assemblies but it was impossible to determine the flowpath diameter. He also said there was not much of a market for big-block cars since they weigh so much, so exhausts were going on small-block cars. BUT, they are usually pretty stout, so they are over 400 HP.

He is based here in Michigan & I was at their facility in Wixom. Anyway, it was an interesting tour & I was there to see the owner of Thompson Automotive, so it was a nice bonus to meet the VP of this company.
