	After 75k miles my 1980 Citation X-11 needs an exhaust system. I've got
the standard (115hp) V-6. (The only one available in 1980.) I'd like to replace
the stock muffler with the new "turbo" style that comes on the later, hi-perf
V-6's. Unfortunately, the usual suppliers of replacement mufflers (Walker etc.)
do not list the turbo style (that's two outlets, by the way). THRUSH does make
a performance muffler for it, but my last experience with THRUSH was putting
Cherry Bombs on my '69 AMC Javelin. (Ah impetuous youth.) They sounded fine for
the age of muscle cars, but now I'm looking for something more like an ABARTH
sound.

	My questions then:

	1. Has anyone had any recent experience with the new generation of
	performance mufflers, THRUSH or otherwise?

	2. What do owners of the newer V-6's do when they have to replace their
	mufflers? (Take a second mortgage and go back to the dealer?)

	3. In general, any advice.

My routing address is (I think):decvax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-ozone!ginsburg

P.S. On the Fiero question: after 5 years, GM still doesn't have a 5-speed
     for the FWD V-6. I wouldn't hold my breath.....
