Re: 4kq rear muffler

[ekellock@juno.com]

I had a "custom" exhaust put on the CGT in July of '93.  It's a Dynomax
Turbo and a Glass Pack and some custom bent pipes.  Not sure of the
diameter, but its bigger than stock.  The other cat-ponent is platinum
free.  Its probably not the most elegant work and it may not be the
lightest sort of stuff you might get, but it's still solid after almost 6
years.  I started with one Turbo muffler which sounded cool, but
resonated too much.  I had them add another Turbo muffler, which was too
quiet, hence the Glass Pack.  It doesn't bump or rattle and it sounds
great.  Best of all, it provides a noticeable, if small, increase in
power.  Cost was about $250 all said and done and I have the 2nd Turbo
muffler as a spare.  Joe's Muffler on Addison in Addison, north of
Beltline.
