I guess it isn't very sexy, but I've had my '64 B for 29 years and I
finally gave up trying to keep a complete muffler system in the car. For
the last 15 years or so I have just used a Midas mid-body muffler with a
straight pipe from the mid-body muffler to the back bumper. I totally
eliminated the back resonator. Seems to have worked out just fine. One
caution is to make sure the muffler or its pipe is mounted low enough
that the rear axle does not hit the pipe at full rebound, it a sure way
to break a muffler hanger strap.
