Actually I have a 1977 Kingsley.

There were at least two others that had a rear muffler but I am the first to put it in line with the tail pipe along the frame.
I also believe that I was the first to use the Flomaster 70 muffler.
It has a rumble at idle but when the engine revs up there are internal reflectors that cancel out the sound waves so while driving it is relatively quiet.

The others used quite a bit of bends in tubing to get the muffler mounted under the rear in the area of the trailer hitch.

Jim K. asked me permission to duplicate my setup and he sells a kit.

I copied what Emery did on my 1976 Palm Beach. Jim K. sells the fully system all the way to the rear. I did not buy Jim's kit because I already had the 3" exhaust. It would have saved me a lot of time had I bought the parts I needed from Jim.
