>> Hey all,
>>
>> Since we're talking about mufflers, I thought I would mention what I plan
>> to do for my car.
>>
>> I found this muffler on ebay and purchased it:
>>
>> http://tinyurl.com/4x4eezs
>>
>> It's a 304 stainless crossover muffler that has a 22" case.
>>
>> When I compare it to my original exhaust it's very similar in size.  Take
>> a look:

>>
>> OK, not really.....but if I cut the stainless muffler in half and weld a
>> cap and single inlet on the open end, which happens to be where the
>> crossover meets in the middle, then I'll have two separate mufflers that
>> are about the same size as the original muffler.  Then I plan to weld the
>> stainless tips on that are angled up similar to the Pre L mufflers.
>>
>> I'll let you know how it goes and hopefully after I finish assembling the
>> motor, how it sounds on a 393C.
>>
>> Thanks,
