This car is too quiet and the exhaust is leaking everywhere so I decided to take care of that problem once and for all.
2-1/4" Purple Hornies Glassback. I'm normally a Cherry bomb man but I think they went out of business.
I must of spend tow and a half hours trying to remove this damn muffler. How I don't know but the Previous owner managed to get a muffler that is 2" od that is supposed to slide inside a 2-1/4" pipe on the outside of the 2-1/4" pipe the damn thing was on there good.
At first I was trying to salvage a small section of the tail pipe so that I could dump the exhaust just behind the axle.
But it was way too far gone to do that.
I finally got pissed off enough to whip out the sawzall chop of the pipe and stick the muffler on there. I made a little dump pipe with an elbow off the old tail pipe. I will eventually get this to a muffler shop and get a tail pipe made up to dump just in front of the axle and get a proper exhaust hanger on there.

But what does it sound like? I guess we won't know until you get the new gas tank, huh?

Yeah I ran it a bit to finish burning off whats left of the gas but I never thought of taking a video. I guess you'll just have to wait to hear it later on.

Really? 'Cause they're still for sale on Jegs... and Summit Racing... and Autozone... and Pep Boys... and Mills Fleet Farm... and eBay... and Rusty's Off Road Parts...
Pretty much anybody that handles Maremont exhaust parts.

Try looking up their website. No more Website. I'm in Canada. Everywhere I used to get Cherry Bombs from no longer have any. I know it sounds strange but I think they are no longer. Might be old stock still left in those warehouses?
Regardless by the time I ship one of those up here I could of gotten myself a nice Flowmaster super 40 instead. International shipping is by no means cheap.

Well, shit. I looked into it a lot more and found that their website just redirects to the hosting company and that YellowPages.com lists Maremont Exhaust as closed.
How the hell did *that* happen without anyone noticing?

I don't wanna continue the trend of hating on you for your mods, but this is totally going to drive you insane. Highway drone is literally Satan. My Porsche basically has a straight-through muffler on it and it's awful.

I know right, it just sort of got swept under the carpet and no one noticed. I remember looking at the website a few months ago.

I had Cherry Bombs on my P71 for the 2 years I had it and it was fine. Besides this car is only a weekend toy so I won't be doing that much highway cruising.

It could be worse I had 2 chamber flowmasters on my Cobra for about 8 years and they would drone like crazy on the highway.
