Good morning Matt. Jwid.. on our 23', 10 years ago I took it to local muffler shop and said fix it. They knew what they were doing and installed 2 1/2" aluminumized pipe and 2 turbo mufflers in OEM location. Lifetime warranty for $200. It does have a nice bellow to it. On our 26' I found a 3" stainless mandrel bend system with 2 stainless flow masters on the wrecked Birchaven I bought from Luther. I took it to same muffler shop and they installed it with a 3' piece of 3" stainless added in rear and spent extra time to fit it just right and weld up everstuff with no leaks for $150. I try to tell everybody I know about Mighty Muffler at exit #1 off 640 bypass in Knoxville, Tenn.

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.
Matt
