urethane suspension bushings?

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

I can relate to the 50 year fart thing.  My son put a brand new Borla
Muffler on his thinking it was going to be loud and it turned out to be a
nice soft low tone that was about the same loudness as a stock muffler maybe
a hair more but it sounded really nice.  I've had a Flowmaster on the same
car and that will attract attention.
