Seen this before. Jim K has a point. It seems that for some reason in our GMC's. I've heard an harmonic's from the exhaust. I had a 5 month old, double wall muffler come apart. At the seem that goes the length of that muffler on our 78 Royale. Got the aluminum skin on the bottom so hot. It started a fire in the foam. I then put an aluminum heat shield about 1 inch below that thin aluminum skin. That 1 inch is a MUST. Next. I put in 2 heavy welded steel mufflers in. I'll never have sheet metal mufflers again on anything we own. And while you're under there. Don't forget a gas tank heat shield. I made mine out of some aluminum that I had around. Another couple of my Comfort Zone things..
