     My 91 Spider Veloce has a stock exhaust with a straight pipe replacing
the rear muffler.  You can almost hear the exhaust, but it is still too
quiet.
     My 82 Spider Veloce has a straight pipe in the center with a burned out
Ansa rear section.  It also has a burned out "catalyst test pipe" in the
front section.  It makes less noise than an Harley and therefore, must be
legal, right officer???
     The point is, the Alfa center muffler does most of the work.  Even
though it is a straight through design (run a wire through it to confirm
that) it is very quite.  I do not suggest replacing the center muffler with
a straight pipe.  Use a glass pack or a turbo style muffler in the center
for a better sounding exhaust.
