sedan mufflers

Is there an aftermarket muffler that will fit on a sedan,W/O causing
rubbing,or rumbles? The ideal size is the original,but it's hard to
find a 5" diameter round muffler. Any suggestions?

Everyone thinks the muffler is the round damper just before the axle, but it
is the long pipe coming from just after the Y in the front section of the
pipe. That long flat pipe is the silencer, the round drum exhaust extension
is the part that keeps it from rumbling. I have used a glass pac and then a
small muffler that really kept it quiet. But I think Tim Mings at
H_Mings@... has something that will work.

I'd like to revisit an old message from October 2002 (see below). Any "new" ideas on
exhaust replacements or aftermarket exhaust parts for the sedan's resonator/silencer
along the straight pipe under the car or the round drum exhaust at the back. I know Mike
O'Connor has the stainless steel back end for sedans. How about other, non-stainless
options?

I'm planning on taking my car to Midas and just having them figure something out.

I made my own muffler for the sedan I sold last summer. I bought a
generic 6" diameter universal muffler which was 13" long. I bought
some U shape bent pipes and fashioned them into similar shape of the
original pipes. I made a tail pipe the same way, I might have bent
some of the pieces myself, I really can't recall. It worked well and
was quiet.

Miles: What was your source for the universal muffler? My local sources, including a
muffler shop, all have turned up their nose at the idea of finding such a thing. Mostly they
balk because it has offset openings on each end and they can only produce something
with center openings.

By using an extension where the original muffler was I installed an
aftermarket chrome tapered Honda 600 bike muffler. Looks tough ,sounds nice
and impress' the daylights outta the kids. mike

I have another muffler in storage, when I get down there I'll get
the part number from it.

On my coupe I extended the pipe straight back and put a real ANSA exhaust tip with built in baffles, it sounded great, real snappy. On my sedan, I put a Y pipe after my glasspack and put Old school Honda chrome bike pipes out either side, it looked crazy and sounded just like a bike!
