    Now the seam on the muffler has started to open up.
    I could hear the exhaust gas escaping while idling next to a building with the windows open so I figured my repair joints were loose.
    Nope....the repair was gas tight, and the seam is facing the floor so a temporary repair was lotsa fun.
    The closest universal muffler I can find is a Walker 17864, 17" long body vs the 21" lg original and 6" dia vs the 5.5" of the original.
    Maybe I should just call it a day and find out what the dealer wants for a new system?

    I would hose clamp a tractor muffler on one of these before I would pay a dealer to stick a fist up my exhaust pipe...
