Two mufflers in seven years

[Bill Bergman <bill.bergman@domain.elided>]

Hi,

Regards Dianes consternation with Ansa, consider this...I have had my
('89) spider seven years,  and my
mechanic is adament about everything remaining stock. My muffler started
tomake some noise, which I
never complained about, but he stuck another stock Alfa muffler on it. I
would have rather had an Ansa at the time, but he knew I would not want
a bad muffler on the spider.

Now it is getting noisy again, and he asked if I wanted to replace it. I
said leave it alone.
I will either install Ansa, or Stahl. I have to say, out of all the cars
I've owned, over 60, including my '86 Fiat X1/9, mufflers were never a
problem.

Actually, I kinda like the sound of my worn muffler better than "no
sound"
at all. It is not that tacky Honda Foster's beer can tailpipe sound. I
have a hard time accepting that almost all of the real sports cars sound
"sporty" except a newer Alfa, which sounds like a Linclon Town Car. No
sound!!! Sounds, smells, visuals, are all part of the experience. What
happened Alfa Romeo? AARRGGHHH !!
