[Healeys] 100-6/3000 muffler

[i erbs]

The muffler itself. pipes are fine. Midas will pay for the part, The
owner has been a solid  guy with me and I don't want to push my luck. He
will pay for the muffler , but I need to find another shop to install it. I
have thought about glass packs, but think they will be too loud.
