Is
the common complaint about Ansa systems rusting due to driving in wet
conditions, or do they rust from the inside out from condensation? Are
Stebros more difficult to install than Ansa? Is there a difference
between
"free flow" and the stock 3-piece exhaust system? Would either system
offer
noticeable performance improvement? With its "historic" plates, my car

not required to pass NY smog tests...can I eliminate the catalytic
converter
to gain power ('green' issues aside). Any other things to consider?

I'm a little puzzled on your catalytic comment when your car in your sig
is a '74 GTV.  GTV's never came with catalysts.  I was down at Wes' shop
a couple of weeks ago and asked what he recommended I replace the hole-y
OEM system with on my '73 GTV.  His answer:  OEM.  That's what I'm going
to replace mine with.
