Well, Matt is at it again. He's looking for better ideas.

Now that I can dance around the entire powerplant, I was noticing that the shells of both mufflers are getting ready to break open. I am very glad that this did not happen on the road somewhere, but the pipe looks to be a cobble-job of bad welds and clamps. Even if I can remove the mufflers (and I have not yet found a matching part), I am not sure that would be able to or I want to. Both mufflers look to be double offset 2-1/4. But with the double offset, putting in straight pipe and going to rear muffler with this pipe is just not a good bet.

Any good ideas? I have the exhaust all off and an very proud that I only broke off one of the screws (bolts) in a head, and that is a center so even if I can't get it out, I don't really care.

The next is an e-mail to JimK to ask what he can supply.
