and never lasted very long. Had a lot of exhaust systems made up and instal=

Which part did you blow out? If the pipes are still in good shape, a muffl=
er shop shop should be able to weld some new mufflers in there (should be g=
ood for a few years at least). I'm still running an Ansa I bought three dec=
ades ago, albeit with some 'Heartthrob' glass packs stitched in; it's got a=
bit raspier sound--sometimes, people think I have a Nasty Boy--but I don't=
hear it much at speed. Some shops can fab a whole new set for you--minus d=
ownpipes--and it might not less than Moss's 'Tourist Trophy' chromed set. M=
ike Lempert, of steering wheel fame, was going to fab some Ansa knockoffs, =
but never did.
=20
Side note: There are two kinds of mufflers that I know of: glasspack, and =
'turbo' (baffled). The Ansa was glasspack, and originally made my car sound=
like a 6-cyl Ferrari (noticeably higher pitch). Anybody know what the orig=
inals were?
