[Vwdiesel] exhaust sound

[mikitka]

I ran my 91 ECO converted to true TD with just the new 2.5" downpipe on it
for 22miles to the muffler shop to have the rest of the system put on. It
didn't sound any louder than all these kids with their honda's and toyota's
with that big round muffler on them, to me it seemed a little quieter and it
was no longer than just behind the steering rack. Now with a 2.5" system
going through a Flowmaster muffler it is quiet.
