whether I should consider upgrading the headers and muffler. Can anyone

that S&amp;S also makes a "performance muffler as well. Any feedback on

that? With only 130K miles on the engine, I plan on running it for a

while before doing an engine upgrade, so I don't mind putting a bit

more into the wasser leaker. (90 2.1L Syncro)

Thanks in advance for any feedback, volks!
