Side topic: Anyone know, for sure, what type the OEM mufflers were;
i.e. 'glasspack,' 'turbo' (baffles) or a third type I recall someone
explaining but I can't recall what they're called?<br>
<br>
The OEM mufflers (I think) I've heard had a mild, apologetic sound;
i.e. 'Sorry, old chap, but I must make some sound to get these
obnoxious gases out of my system.'<br>

<div dir="auto">When you park the car after a long drive, water
will collect in a mild steel exhaust system and relatively
quickly the welds in the internal baffles on the silencer will
corrode and break away. So whether you drive the car or not the
silencers corrode internally. having SS silencers is a good
idea. pipes can be mild steel and they will last forever.</div>
