How do I know? > http://bugadventures.dyndns.org/temp/articulation1.jpg Cool site, brings back a lot of fun memories. My first "car" was a 36 horsepower 1958 Baja Bug, next, a Myer's Tow'd (still have the chassis and 1970 "special construction" street-legal title), and a fleet of other VWs including 2 "Baja Buses" made from a 69 and 70 type 2's. Dude, put the battery in a box with a vent (*strap it down, it hurts in a rollover), seal the holes in the floorpan (use rubber plugs for draining and hose-out),. and you'll get more low-end torque out of a 4-into-1 exhaust with a restrictive muffler. Disk brake conversion is probably the best upgrade you can do for the money. have fun -- Paul Calman, Hathaway Pines, California |

Re: New Jeep Commercial
Bob, torque is produced when an engine works into a resistance. Let an
engine run on a torque-measuring device with no load on the engine, and the produced torque will be nil. Place a braking load on the engine and the amount of torque produced will suddenly and dramatically increase. Same with an exhaust system, the engine needs a certain amount of restriction to work into to produce maximum torque. Run with a wide-open exhaust system like headers only used in a dragster and they produce lots of HP at high rpms. Restricting the exhaust reduces high rpm HP but boosts low-end torque. That's why header and exhaust design is as much black-art as it is science. And why the urge to go to so-called "high performance low-restriction" exhaust and cats is not a good thing to succumb to for a Jeep because doing so can actually reduce the amount of torque produced... which is so important for a vehicle that sees much offroading.
