The Ford Mustang GT350 Has Holes In The Exhaust For The Most Bizarre Reason
The holes in the GT350's exhaust tips are because of the tires, as
Ford’s Chief Performance engineer Jamal Hameedi explained to Jay Leno on
an episode of
his garage show. “The tires are so sticky that they take little pebbles, and they spit them up in the back of the fascia.”
This happens when, after a session out on the track, the Mustang’s
hot tires become sticky like a piece of flypaper and begin to pick up
all the little pebbles and gravel on the road. The tires naturally fling
them towards the rear fascia and those exhausts tips that are not
totally connected to the actual exhaust. Without those drain holes, the
rocks and pebbles would rattle around in there.
