Re: Mufflers for 16V

[redepisa@juno.com (Renato D Piereck)]

If you don't mind the noise and vibration (I don't)you can go the (cheap)
way I went: I bought a Cherry Bomb muffler ($15) an exhaust tip ( I
bought a nice one for $30 but you can find cheaper ones) and then I took
them to a muffler shop and they welded everything for another $15. It
cost me $60, it's completely unobstructed (less backpressure = more hp)
and it has a real nice (though loud) sound.
