Hello Rodsky
Nice to hear from you. I love my 40th as well. I did a muffler mod, some people call it a muffler hack. It consist of a 6" tube shaped like a J connecting the plug on the muffler to the tail pipe. Similar to pse but without the switch. I love it and it sounds great. It may be my imagination, but it seems to me like I picked up a little more hose power. I think the stock muffler is too constrive for the x-51 motor. Probably one of the best mods you can do for the price. I had in done in the bay area by Darin Fister it cost around $250.00. If your interested I can hook you up with him.

You can find him on rennlist.com. If you do a muffler search on rennlist look for this title "PSE modded 3.6 mufflers-how close in sound to a real PSE? There is a long discussion on this mod and you will find a sound clip there as well. He goes by dfister or the muffler man. You can ship you mufflers to him sometimes he just exchanges them out to save time. The guy does good work and is very friendly. Cheers.

Picked up my 40th (#159 of 1963) a few months ago. The car had 19,500 miles on the clock. I've put about 3,500 miles on it. It rides a bit rough, but I really enjoy the car. The X-51 motor is awesome. Just added the b&m shifter, clear side markers and muffler hack. Next the power plenum and that is it, I hope. Maybe wheel spacers. The car needs rear tires soon. It has S-O2s thinking about pilot sport rib. Any suggestions?
Congrats on the car! I was just in your neighborhood last weekend playing golf. Congrats on the car!

I had the fabspeed muffler bypass pipes on and they were awesome but they are very loud- i mean warning to all they are loud
I bot the PSE when I first bought the car and thats a happy medium.
Also short shift is great too

40th anniversary
Nice to hear from another fellow 40th owner. Your wheels look great. For me, I love the polished wheels the 40th comes with. My plenum should be here anyday. I hear it works good on the x-51 motor. Let me know how your mods work out on your car. Good Luck
