The coined phrase 'suitcase' is a term for the mid-muffler. The advantages to removal are: 1. Aggressive exhaust note, 2. Approx. 30lbs less sprung weight, 3. Cheap modification... anywhere from $30 to $60.
The disadvantages are: 1. Minimal loss of torque (I didn't notice it.) 2. Exhaust drone between 2000 and 3000K.
You VR6 will sound better without it because the mid-muffler is used primarily as a noise restriction device.

if you jack the car up... look underneath at your exhaust system... it's the really big muffler in the middle of your system (just about in the middle of the car)... square shaped... if you take it to a muffler shop, it'll be easiest... they'll just cut and re-weld an s-shaped pipe (kind of an s... but not really) in replacement of the muffler...
