Arvinode Dual Exhaust System - Arvinode Is Back

Now There's An Authentic Reproduction For The Rare Dual Exhaust System Found On Many 289 High Performance MustangsKarl Seifert in the Hi-Po Forum introduced Dave to "Herschel-Quincke," a sound attenuation principal used for noise control. Figuring the technology was patented, Dave contacted the U.S. Patent Office for Herschel-Quincke information. It turns out there were numerous patents for this unique sound science based on "node" dampening, a number of them registered by Arvin during the 1960s. Dave noted the names of company engineers associated with the patents. He tracked down two of them, Benjamin Irwin and Ed Ludlow, in Columbus, Indiana, where Arvin Industries was located. Unfortunately, both had passed away. However, Ben Irwin's son, Dick, put Dave in touch with Jim Abbott, the former prototype shop foreman at Arvin. Jim, who had fabricated the prototype and production patterns, was able to find the original drawings for the mufflers and resonators.
