Yep - I remember that - was the year I had the rented Intrepid. I
remember Ed commenting that the exhaust was louder than his at the time.
I'm really stunned that stuff is falling apart after such a short

Napa sells exhaust sticks by the foot in lengths up to of 10 feet, in
various gauges and grades. I don't remember what it sells for per foot
