Larry, have had several Thrush mufflers put on my 65 4/4.  It is a streight,
clyndrical muffler about 3ish inches in dia.  It fits nicely.

Basically that is correct!!  As Richard says, there is a slight zig.  In
fact I catually had mine make a slight U at the axle.  I think that gave
me just a little more clearence.  But it is basically streight and does
come very close to the rear tire.
