Hey everybody,

I finally got around to removing my middle muffler from my 1990 CQ and the
results are awesome. The sound is sooooo beautiful. When the car starts it
begins as a low rumble, Brrrrrruuuuuummmmm        Brrrrrrruuuuuuummmmm
Brrrrrruuuuuuuuuummmm.....then upon acceleration it's more like a deep
mmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrr, mmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  It's kind of hard to describe. I am going
to attempt to record the change so anyone interested can hear. I don't
really notice any torque output losses or gains, but the new attitude works
just as nice. AND it is not too loud or annoying. It's nice. Simple as that.

It only cost $40 to have the muffler removed and a straight pipe bent and
MIG welded in its place. I even saved 25 lbs of weight. That center muffler
weighs a lot.

Updates to follow.
