variant13 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 OK, so this is a Bosal muffler, made in Canada, from NAPA. It's the only muffler they list, and it's 1-2" too short from the flange to the muffler, and the rear hanger is wrong. Anyone have any alternate sources for such a muffler? I already bent the extant muffler back into a cylinder shape, and had a friend tack-weld the burst seam (not very successful), I suppose I can buy some PC-7 Hi-Temp and wing it, but I kinda want a real muffler...

MilesFox Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 cut out a section and weld in a sleeve to lengthen it. This way you keep a new muffler and new metal. Take it to a ma and pa shop and have them lengthen it with the old muffler to repair to. bosal is a good make for exhaust gaskets if you ever need them, better than felpro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
variant13 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks Miles, I had been kicking that idea around, becuase it doesn't look like there are any other options for a Bosal muffler. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
variant13 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 And straight from Bosal's website, they no longer make a muffler for wagons, 80-84. Seems pretty random, but who am I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 when I was shopping for a muffler, I couldn't find one for less than $250! F!@$K that! and so... I'm using a Thrush turbo muffler on mine. cut the hangers from the original muffler, and welded them to the turbo, and hung it up! it's kinda loud, but whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
