============
i had ansa exhaust on my verde - i was so glad when it finally rusted out - i
hated the sound.  i recently got a stebro center section for it, and a center &
rear for the 164.  the fit-n-finish are outstanding - i'm waiting for their
hedder system for the gtv6 & milano.  budget allowing, both are gonna get the
full stebro treatment.

one person's opinion,
