[V8] Suspension, Exhaust Note

[Korn, Bob]

When you remove the rear mufflers, how does it affect the sound inside the
car at normal highway crusing speeds?  I would like to maintain the quiet
freeway ride, but would like a little more growl when the pedal is on the
floor!

I experience the same anomalies with the miles to empty on my 90.

Yup.  It felt very good to me at the time.  In fact, if it were possibly,
I'd very much like to try it again so that I could compare it to my current
Bilstien/HD setup which I'm not that thrilled with.  I'm thinking very
seriously about going the Boge route that you've mentioned more than once.  

I'm in LA at the moment.  It was 1100 miles from Colorado Springs with a
moderate load in the car.  The car was controlled when I wanted it to be,
but when I wanted it to be comfortable/composed, it was not.  Still too much
reaction over the lesswer stuff.  

Cruising with semi's at 105 down I40 into Kingman was an interesting
experience.

Sea level atmospheric pressure is soooo nice for the V8.  The rear-muffler
delete option sounds even throatier here.  

Some sort of voltage or circuit anomoly in the instrument cluster causes oil
pressure gauge to peg and miles to empty to grossly overestimate.  Seems
worse after fuel fill-up.  Seems to wort itself out when fuel level is below
1/2.

Happy Turkey Day all!

I BELIEVE I still have the part Nos.  I think it's the same as used for C4
(2nd generation 100/UrS4/S6) chassis cars (i.e. 1529.140).

Lemme see...still have the box with the stock springs in it...YUP! 1529.140

That's what I had in my old v8.  Felt pretty good, Ed, didn't it?
