Subject: What can Candoo do?
   Date: Mon, 1 May 1995 05:56:38 -0400

I'm sure others who have installed this thing will reply also, but here's my
$.02.  I like the concept of providing room under the trunk floor for the
spare tire, and I like the freer breathing (available with all kinds of
other aftermarket systems also).  I don't like the dufus routing of the pipe
out the center of the car, and the installation of a fake tailpipe in the
old rear valence cutout to fill it in.  In fact, my don't likes of the
Candoo system have taken precedence so far, even though I really want to
relocate the spare.
 
In a few weeks, I'll be checking with some exhaust shops about this.
Tentatively, I'll use the H. Dan Smith system, with a Camaro muffler. (He
put out word of this on the net a couple months ago, but I haven't seen his
name for a while - you still out there, Dan?)  However, I dunno how this
will work out with the Racing Beat rear subframe brace which will be
installed in a couple weeks or so.  (So many aftermarket goodies, so little
time.)  Anyone tried any of the baloney-shaped glass packs?  They're very
compact and are generally relatively free flowing and would probably sound
OK, and are also relatively inexpensive.  One could afford to replace them
every year or so, which is probably about how long they'd last.  Any other
thoughts out there?
