On my way to work today I was wondering why my engine was making crazy noises.
I started to think that my recently rebuild engine now was falling apart because if the carb problem. On my way home I started thinking. That sounds like I have strait pipes on the car plus some rattling. Sure enough the muffler is broken. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

So I guess it's time for a new muffler: (not that this is a great time money wise after the holidays...)
What alternatives are there to the bursch? Also money wise?
Pelican sells the bursch for the '74 2.0 for 255 any other place cheaper?

Thanks for any advise.

if the metal's not too bad, try classic muffler on winfield blvd. in san jose. andy the proprietor is almost painfully nice and i'd wager you'll be surprised by the cost (in a good way).

andy welded in new aftermarket cats on my '98 e430 for hundreds less than the oem one's would have cost just for parts.

if you do have swiss cheese back there, post up a wanted ad here. decent used ones are pretty easy to come by.

doh edit! used an old loggin, ptxyz - aka pt700...
