Man that is old school. But it works.. Keeps your torque curve up and was a ole super stocker trick decades ago. Use to make them longer than 18', like 26" and put a white paint line down the lenght and where the paint changed colors you would cut them off there. I believe that was in a old Hot Rod magazine article in the late 60's. Joe, thanks for the flash back....
