[V8] Chopped Exhaust

[Lanier Pratt]

I just made an appointment to visit one of my local muffler shops to  
have the
rear muffler removed and tips added.  He said that he thinks he  
remembers
doing another Audi as well.  Pretty hard to believe when I live in a  
town of
18,000 and there is only two other V8's in town and I'm owner of one  
of the
other two.
