[Healeys] Brand new muffler is a P.O.S.

[Mark and Kathy]

Jack,
     There is a Walker plant here in IN.  that has been making exhaust parts 
for years.    I  have a Walker  exhaust on my MGA and it  sounds just like 
an English sports car should sound.    I was able to write down the muffler 
part number for future replacements when needed.
    FYI,  For the first time in 3 years  I  fired up my Healey with a new 
Falcon SS exhaust from Moss, and it sounds just right for me.   After 
listening to some of the  newest  motorcycle exhaust systems at 3 oclock in 
the morning  ,  I want my listeners to appreciate my Healeys sound not 
loathe it.   I hate these new bikes,  don't get me started.  Wheres the 
noise pollution Police when you want them.

Go  Walker and support the US manufacturers,

or Falcon which sounds pretty damn Healeyish to me.

Mark
