<VV> VV Muffler project for a cheapskate

[J R Read_HML]

John,

It is my understanding from past discussions (read that - don't know this to 
be a fact) that the side exit exhaust is to reduce the chance of fumes being 
sucked back into the heater through the fresh air grill on top.  Further, 
that straight out the back exhaust (at least a portion) can be sucked 
forward and into the engine compartment - and hence into the heater system.

Later, JR

 I felt like tinkering a bit more because I did not like the single turn out 
tailpipe so I cut the rear exhaust grill on the lower side to fit a straight 
out 2 1/2" drop off/angle chrome cut tailpipe ($4.99) giving it a turbo 
style look and fit.
 On a quick cruise through downtown I noticed an immediate and considerable 
increase on the "thumbs up meter". For an under $30 improvement I am very 
satisfied with the results.
