[V8] exhaust needed for 90 V8 quattro

[Scott Baumann / Progressive Technology Solutions]

The center unit is the muffler - I believe you can use a Walker to replace
it; I replaced mine with a pair of glass packs, which were astoundingly
(too) quite;  I had them removed, and have been running with ONLY the rear
resonator for 4-5 months now.  The tone is RASPY when you get on it (not
unlike a 928S), and has a mellow rumble most of the time.  The jury is still
out for me if I really like this setup or not.  One side benny - I am pretty
sure that low end and mid-range grunt are somewhat better...
