OEM Starla rear muffler cackles 200

I've been planning on hanging an OEM rear muffler on my 245 for the past two years ever since I needed an emergency muffler change when I was on the road.

Well the emergency fix finally rusted through (ha.. 2 years)

Whoever owned the car before me had deleted the front resonator muffler so it's just straight pipe in the center of the car.. Some of Midas' finest work.

I hung and hooked up my Starla last night using 2" flex pipe just to see how it'd work. And the thing cackles something fierce when the car is cold and I take off in 1st and 2nd gear. And it sounds rather 'import racer' when warmed up.

So I take it that front resonator does most of the silencing work and it's required in order to quiet the rear muffler down?

I'm just checking. I'm planning on buying the front muffler if the car needs it so I can have my exhaust shop put them both on correctly at the same time.

Or are the Starla replacement mufflers just known to do this?

Thanks!
