Default Couple of questions...

First, Series 1 XR6 exhaust. They have the poxy blocked up second pipe. Does anyone know what it does, and what will happen in terms of performance/economy if it is cut and used as a second outlet?

Also, suspension, my car (has factory IRS) sits noticable higher in the rear that the front, and Im wondering if this is normal, or does my car have a birth defect that will cause it to be picked on by all the other AU's?

I ask these question, as while it is in its rebuilding process (STILL!), it is having some minor modifications made along the way! Just wondering if I can predict the results before I make decisions.... Thanks in advance for any help given! Cheers!

All AU's/ or Falcon's in general sit higher in the rear than the front in standard trim.

If you have twin tips, they may have blocked the second tip to lower the noise. It may have been too loud....

It's the V8 system adapted for use on the VCTs. A whole second pipe that does nothing. Factory rice if you ask me.
