88 80q Center Muffler Replacement

[River6822@aol.com]

OK laugh if you want to but here goes --

The center muffler in my 88 80q rusted and busted open. The pipes going to 
and from the muffler are in excellent condition (for being the originals.) I 
could not see spending over $200 for this section when the pipes were in good 
condition, so I took at $17 shot in the dark.

I ordered a glass pack muffler from JC Whitney. 4" diameter body by 13" long 
case with 2-1/4" weld connection. It cost me $15 to have the old one cut out 
and the new one welded in.

For $32 it sounds pretty cool. It's got that raspy glass pack resonence, but 
it's not loud at all. Pretty cheap way out if any one is interested.
