<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I just returned from the muffler shop to see about replacing the "cherry bomb" muffler with something a little more quiet and deep. When it was put up on the lift the single muffler looked like a stock MG muffler painted red, not a typical cherry bomb glass pack muffler. APT in Riverside (10 minutes from my house) sells a Maniflow performance system for $350. I'm not sure I would be any better off sound wise with it. Now I am thinking of just buying a stock resonator and muffler from Moss and having the muffler shop put them in and be done with it.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mike MacLean</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">1969 MGB GT <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">1960 Bugeye</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">1956 BN2 Lemans<br></div><div><br></div>

The local exhaust shop welded up a few holes and put in a new muffler for less than $100.
