[Vwdiesel] Muffler or Streight pipe

[Shalyn Shourds]

One time, doing some testing, I unbolted the exhaust at the downpipe on 
my '85 Jetta TD and drove around for a half-hour, down the highway, 
etc.  I can't really judge on the power as I was mainly focused on 
figuring out why the engine kept cutting out, but with absolutely no 
exhaust system bolted on, it was thoroughly tolerable.  So much so that 
I was kind of disappointed.
