depends on your definition of complement =)
Barry won't be the only guy running around with ear plugs hanging off
his rearview. I bet the 'point cops would give you some love for it,
too.
I think I need to find out how much my cat muffles - I know there's
more sound hiding in there somewhere. a nice straight pipe there would
probably kill the rattle I gained against the bottom of the cab, too.

I've heard that you don't need to start actually worrying until about a
quart every 1000, and I've been steady at adding 1qt at the 2500-3500
mark on a 5000 mile drain interval since around 50-60k. this is *not*
an increase. but it will certainly be a reminder to keep a closer eye
on things for the next few months.
