<< I want to replace the exhaust on my '86 5000TQ I'm not sure whether to go 
 for the Stebro or the Scorpion. Does anybody have any experience with these 
 mufflers? Sound? HP? I also want  to get rid of the middle mufflers and just 
 keep the rear, are there any problems with this? Any comments would be 
 greatly appreciated, TIA

Stebro systems are great, can be installed piece by piece (so you don't have 
the whole exhaust at once), look great.  Problems - hang too low, sometimes 
fitment problems, and don't change the sound a whole lot - I ended up pulling 
the first muffler on my CSQ.  Now, however, it sounds awesome...and pulls 
quite well for otherwise being stock.  A few years ago at Limerock a friend 
and I were clocking cars down the straight - the best CSQ was Wendy W. at 
around 90 mph.  Not slow, but slower than the other cars.  When I was there, 
I was able to pull redline in 4th without problem - 100mph or so.  

Later!
