I have a 2017 VB catalog--maybe I should put it on eBay as a
'collectible?'--and they have half of a BJ8 muffler system listed (the
outboard half of the front section, and the inboard half of the rear).

Which part did you blow out? If the pipes are still in good
shape,
a muffler shop shop should be able to weld some new mufflers in
there (should be good for a few years at least). I'm still
running
an Ansa I bought three decades ago, albeit with some
'Heartthrob'
glass packs stitched in; it's got a bit raspier
sound--sometimes,
people think I have a Nasty Boy--but I don't hear it much at
speed.
Some shops can fab a whole new set for you--minus downpipes--and
it
might not less than Moss's 'Tourist Trophy' chromed set. Mike
Lempert, of steering wheel fame, was going to fab some Ansa
knockoffs, but never did.<br>
<br>
Side note: There are two kinds of mufflers that I know of:
glasspack, and 'turbo' (baffled). The Ansa was glasspack, and
originally made my car sound like a 6-cyl Ferrari (noticeably
higher pitch). Anybody know what the originals were?<br>
