[urq] exhaust stuff

[ur.quattro]

Umm the PC term is Test Pipe, not cat delete, I know cause we use test pipes 
for 23 months and the cars do sound subduded when the test pipe is not 
installed. of course we wrap our "non test pipes" in that fancy sticky cloth 
stuff while they sit for the 23 month span between tests, this June could be 
interesting, our first visit to emission tests with 034EFI, we are ready 
with our other .set, prolly go early, no not cocky. Bill
