Mufflers

[Tom Mandera <tsm1@domain.elided>]

I still claim the BEST muffler... which hasn't been perfected.. would be 
the anti-sound muffler.  Just take a sample up the tailpipe, then invert 
the wave form 180 degrees, and send it up the exhaust from farther down 
the pipe (add in the appropriate delays) and you effectively "neutralize" 
the sound waves.. 

What's that get ya?  almost NO restrictions, *and* you get the choice of 
turning the anti-sound ON or OFF.. so, when you want to sneak home at 
3am, you can run quite as a mouse (okay, well, with just the usual IH 
creaks n' rattles anyhow).. or, when you want to show off, or scare the 
kid walking donw the street, turn the anti-sound off and let 'er rip.
