In my mind, there are times when you want a loud muffler, even if it’s only to enjoy the sound of the six. But if I’m going to drive it a couple hours or more, I don’t want something that will make my ears bleed. Ben came up with a solution for me. I love it!

Allright boys- I guess this is as good a place as any to jump in with this;
I love the idea of the Town & Country mufflers for the reasons Mark mentioned, but have wanted to suggest to Ben for a while that he go the final mile and use solenoid actuated butterfly cut outs for the sport pipes, like the Muscle car guys do, so you could dial in between the loud and soft effect of the muffler. Sport pipes closed for running around your neighborhood on Sunday mornings, once out on the road- let 'er rip, without having to get out and touch hot exhaust components. I'd bet you wouldn't be able to keep up with demand from the 911 crowd. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Cheers- Harry |

That would ruin the deal the current owner of m&k have.. The 914-6 market is so small.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
