RE: Muffler music and opinions.

[Glenn Wasserman <glennwa@domain.elided>]

I have an Ansa rear section and Stebro center section on my '93 Spider
Veloce.

It sounds great - when I first got the car, I thought it may be a little too
loud. Now I've gotten used to it and I like it A LOT.

I didn't hear the car before getting these installed, though - I was just
aware that the later Spiders had gotten quieter and quieter as the model
years progressed. I wanted mine to sound like the 1600's and 1750's I test
drove before deciding to go with the '93.

It does.

Ansa on a spider vs stock--louder than stock, not objectionable--does seem a

little pretensious with two BIG chrome tailpipes that have tiny real 
pipes inside them that in turn go to a single pipe.

Stebro vs stock in a 164L--much louder than stovk, sounds very 
strong--like the sound--LOVE the way they are made (great welding--almost 
works of art)--would be my choice.
