90q exhaust... noise with just rear box?

[Marc Swanson]

Hi All,

As some of you know I recently aquired a 90q which "needed work" that I'll
eventually be using for a daily driver.  I just fixed the leaky fuel
system.. At first I thought I messed something up because the car just
didn't seem to want to start.. it would stumble a bit then die.. stumble..
die..  All this after a new fuel pump, filter, accumulator and a pair of
plastic hoses to interconnect them.  I'm sort of sweating a bit here since
I'm thinking I might have put something in backwards or left something
lodged in the fuel line.....  Of course idiot me would soon realize there
was no gas left in the tank!!!! Way to go Swanson!

Anyhow I'm moving onto the exhaust system.  I decided to go the route of
using the stock rear box since it is still in decent shape.. the middle
muffler on the other hand is toast.  I have some concerns about the noise
level.  This isn't going to be my boy racer car by any means (hey that's
what the 4ktq is for!) but I mainly want something that wont annoy the hell
out of me on the highway and wake up my neighbors at night.. anyone BTDT?
Am I asking for trouble with this setup?


Oh yeah.. and when the PO sent me the key for the trunk I got a nice post
christmas surprise.. a practically brand new Bentley repair manual!  The PO
didn't even know it was in there!
