318 Engine Y-pipe

["Dave Grove" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes they did.
Everything (cars) had them from 81-up.
I had an 81 Mirada, - probably the worst running car I ever owned.  Decent
gas milage though, - no wonder, that "Lean Burn" system was exactly that!
Never did get it ro really run right, - and even my wife could not wear it
out.  When I bought it, it had a little under 50K,  two years later, it had
150 (she had already worn-out several cars before she started driving the
Mirada, - she had a long trek to work).
I am now driving the last vehicle she attempted to wear out, an 89 Dodge
Dakota truck, - 186K at the moment.  No way she could have worn that one out
though, - it does not have enough power to wear anything out (3.9 V6, -
gas-sucking gutless wonder, and a true *waste* of the 318 engine).
Just my opinion of course, - but then I am the one driving
it.......................

She is currently working on wearing out her present ride, - 95 Jeep grand
Cherokee.  205K and counting............

Regards,
DaveG.

Didn't they also use the mini cats on Miradas?  I had one a few years back
and it had them.  My 81 Imperial also has them and they have to be
restrictive.  I will probably convert the exhaust to a quiet dual exhaust
with dual cats.

    The Y-pipes are totally different, - guess they did that so we could not
    "trash" those mini-converters easily.

    Hmm, I'm surprised at that. Do you know what the exact difference is,
and how it effects fit? I don't see why the exhaust system from any F/M/J
shouldn't fit an 81-83 Imperial. If your car is no longer injected, and you
wish to improve the abysmal exhaust system, you might consider exhaust
manifolds from the Magnum series (92-03) of Chrysler small-blocks. Much
better flow without the drawbacks of headers. However, I'm not sure if any
of these truck applications will fit F/M/J's. Might be a good tech question
for the Mopar Action website, I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of
this.

    For those who don't know...

    F= Aspen/Volare (all)

    M= Diplomat (78-89) Gran Fury (82-89) LeBaron (78-81) 5th Avenue (82-89)

    J= Cordoba/Mirada (80-83) Imperial (81-83)
