URQ muffler (fwd)
Thought you might like to see this. This confirms my belief
that there is nothing a competent muffler shop can't
do for 1/3 the price of a Scorpion.
I suggested this shop since they are local to me, and when
my 84 4kq resonator rusted off a few weeks ago, I had
them cut it out and replace it with a section of pipe.
Total cost - $50. Some enterprising fellow (Graydon?)
could hook up with such a place and make stainless performance
exhausts for well under $500.

Dan Well you probably know by know that the 4 months I spent waiting for a
muffler from Wachholz was for naught, as the "original stock" muffler was no
such thing when he got it off the car, and he didn't even know it. I still have
not received my money back or other parts due, they're "in the mail".
On a more positive note, I spent the day in the Buchanan public library,
while the folks at Gallon Measure (Rom?) made me a new system.They dropped me at
the library and picked me up when it was done. The work, including welding on a
new resonator and complex twisted pipe, and the muffler plus extension came to
$225. At that price it was hard to justify $800 for the stainless Scorpion
system.
` Thanks for the advice, and help with Wachholz.
Regards,
Rob Greene
