Re: Exhausts

[Ian Lomax <sfalfisto@domain.elided>]

Don,

If you're going to remove any muffler, ditch the rear
one.  You'll get a nice note, a bit louder.  Getting
rid of the center will be much louder I believe.  I
have a straight pipe instead of the rear muffler, and
it sounds great, more like a 50's Alfa.

I have also had Ansa's which lasted as long or longer
than the stock system.  No experience with Stebro.

Cheers,
