sound, was: <VV> Young Vair thrust (non tech)

Your Corvair sounds like a VW? How insulting!

Personally, my favorite sounding muffler set are the trombones. A
pleasant, distinctive sound, without being LOUD. I know about loud. Once
put a pair of glasspacks on my Corvair, and knew as soon as I fired it
up that I was in trouble. Any exhaust that drowns out the radio is BFN.
(Keep in mind that that was back in '68, so at that time even the
factory radio was "respectable" sounding to me.)

Besides, I don't buy the latest mega-watt craze, where a stereo has to
rattle house windows for a block in every direction. My only comment to
those "nuts" is: YOU'RE GOING TO BE DEAF BY 40!" A REAL sound system
doesn't have to blast your eardrums into the next county. All it has to
do is to reproduce true, accurate sounds, and at ALL levels. My test for
that is to turn the volume DOWN to see if I can still pick out the
subtleties. If a system can do that, then (IMHO) you have a REAL sound
system.
