exhaust systems (72 Midget)

[Marcus Tooze <tooze@vinny.cecer.army.mil>]

The Midget sounds like a hot rod...theres no muffler left and the front
pipe is barely hanging onto the manifold. A friend said he ran his 
Midget with a straight pipe (no muffler) and it sounded great....Mr.
Vizard also seems to be an advocate of the straight pipe (well, more of a
megaphone design actually)....just wondering on the pros and cons....will
it be WAY too noisy??
