gillet exhaust

["A. Bjorkheim" <andreb@u.washington.edu>]

   COME ON, if you guys are going to discuss exhausts, change the subject
from that "I love MIME messages" crap to something having to do with
exhausts.  I dont know about the remainder of the people on the list
but I check all posts, regardless of the subject just cuz I know people
tend not to stick to the subject.  Sheesh....  Anyway, I AM going to
talk about my exhaust so if you dont care to read further, delete it =)

    Naw, the exhaust aint boring in the least.  I think it is one of the
better sounding ones out there, IMHO!  BTW, I have one on my 79'.  At
idle it is rather quiet, not loud, of course most exhausts that I have 
heard are quiet at idle.  But then when you give it throttle it doesnt
have that annoying *WWWAAAAAAAPPPPP*, instead it is much deeper.  If I
have someone rev the car in my driveway, I can feel the vibrations from
inside my house.  BTW, I too have had the exhaust for some time now, about
4 years and I have had no problems with it whatsoever.  I believe it is
2.25", has 2 resonators, 1 muffler and a powder coated tailpipe.  If you
want a painfully annoying exhaust do no purchase a Gillet.
