Replaced my muffler...

[shawn stonbraker 2]

Well, a year and a hlf ago I replaced the OEM monster muffler with a Flowtech Raptor from Napa for $20 + the cost of running the pipe straight out the back. Well the muffler itself sprung a leak already so I decided to replace it with a Thrush Welded muffler and WOW, what a difference in sound. It is now deeper and not a raspy. I thought the Raptor sounded pretty good, but I am very impressed by the Thrush sound. Alot meaner sound now and sounds really nice at WOT and idle. No dronning at cruising speed, even though I didn't have that with the Raptor either. Total cost to replace was $47. (muffler, 2 clamps, and a new hanger since the shop welded one of the original hangers to the system via one of the clamps)



May try to get a recording of this one to go with the recording of the Raptor. I'll see what I can do.

Hope you changed the bearings while you were at it.

TomT,



A muffler bearing would've cost another $50. Maybe he was trying to be frugal.:lol:
