The 'stock' exhaust they fitted clearly has "MAGNAFLOW" * stamped on it during the closing sequence at Willow Springs...
I noticed that, the standard one they showed earlier on the trolley was not what was fitted at the end- or MAGNEX

Plan to return car to stock to meet smog laws, aftermarket exhaust needs to be replaced with stock
Remove aftermarket exhaust
5 min segment visiting race team, contrived sequence about working in exchange for stock exhaust.
Get given rusty old stock exhaust
Comment how you have replaced aftermarket exhaust with stock one to meet smog laws.
Car has new aftermarket exhaust.
Never explain this, assume viewers are idiots.
WD 2020...
Just watched the Z300 episode, I had one of these In the late 90s and played with it a lot, This episode was a work of fiction, changed the injectors without a remap, 350 bhp with 740cc injectors would have oiled up and run like a pig until it stopped, at the end it acquired two new back boxes and a front end respray.

Ant said it would get remapped after fitting the stock injectors so presumably it had a different map installedRed9zero said:
Just watched a 15 minute long WD episode and I see there's a 30 minute one later today. Both only shortened versions of old episodes and probably milking the format a bit, but it did cut all the filler (no pun intended) out.
They used to be filmed across 2 x 1/2 hour episodes.sgtBerbatov said:

These were full restorations condensed into a 15 minute (or 30 minute) programme.Early this morning I caught up on the old Edd episode where Mike buys the Mustang fastback in California and brings back to the UK. I’ve seen the episode several times on repeat on Dave and Quest etc., but only ever from about half way through, had never seen the beginning until today.
Brewer was monster bulls
tting even back then, as apart from the constant reference to Steve McQueen and Bullitt, which of course featured a ’68 Mustang, not a ’67…….but when talking about the ad of the car he was going to see, he said, “Its an A-code car which means its factory original”
Huh……original what?
Normally when talk about Mustang codes, it’s the letter engine code, the two most desirable and expensive being the K-code small block HiPo 289, and the S-code for the big block 390. An A-code engine is the middle 289-4v, so hardly most desirable?
Then when he’s trying to haggle with the owner, over a faded black Mustang the owners mentions, can’t do that “Its and A code car”, and Mike goes “Yeah, I know it’s the one everyone wants”
So, I’m then thinking, aah…..paint code, not engine code, and the owner is talking about it being an A-code in terms of it possibly being a factory Raven Black car (paint code A) which is sought after and desirable in the USA, as of the nearly half a million Mustangs made of all types in 1967 model year, only just over 10,000 of all three versions, were Raven Black, so, an A paint code fastback would be very rare and desirable.
No mention of that all, and yet Mr ‘got to keep the originality’ Brewer, then lets Edd paint it ’68 Highland Green and turn it into a semi-fake Bullitt repro, with a repro deluxe interior…..utter tosser.

To be fair, they'd have had to extend the show by half an hour to get all that in.Brewer was monster bulls

According to the internet, "A code" = the 289 cubic inch V8 with a 4-barrel carburettor.Brewer was monster bulls

Yes.....as I already had posted......
I'm not enough of a Mustang beard to know what "4v" means. 
It's not standard terminology in my world of twin chokes and efi.
