I am running a straight pipe on my '85 ur-Quattro, 2 1/2" all the way
back to a SS SuperTrapp muffler with no baffles, a straight pipe
effectively all the way, basically. No center muffler, just the
cataclysmic perverter. This system does result in better throttle
response, faster turbo-spinup and generally better all-around
performance. There is no detecetable loss to low-end or mid-range torque
or responsiveness. The turbo quiets the sound enough that the straight
pipe with no real muffler is totally acceptable on the street, IMFO. It's
actually much quieter Vs my 4000Qs with the same setup, 2 1/4" pipe, with
the baffles *installed* on the SuperTrapp. Go for it!
