RESISTS CORROSION -- Aluminized steel construction and internal drainage system helps reduce corrosion. BUILT TO LAST -- Internal partitions and mechanically joined tubes allow expansion and contraction during temperature changes to minimize distortion while spun-locked heads and OE-style spot welds provide structural stability and longer service life. EASY TO INSTALL -- Direct-fit bolt-on replacement solution with OE-style hangers, brackets and pipe routings for easy installation that doesn't require specialized fabrication and/or welding. FACTORY SOUND -- Louvered tubes help reduce radiated noise for factory-style sound quality compared to straight perforated tubes. GET MORE MILES FROM YOUR MUFFLER -- Designed and tested to extend muffler life.
This muffler fails to deliver on its promise of noise-cancellation, resulting in a loud and annoying sound. However, the Automotive product's installation was easy and hassle-free .Unfortunately, the lack of noise reduction makes this muffler a waste of money for anyone expecting a quieter ride..
I ordered this to replace the factory muffler on a 1978 Ford F150. The intake was a perfect fit (factory exhaust is 2" OD), but the exhaust (factory exhaust is 2 1/8" OD) required a small modification. I had to bend the muffler outlet to just over 2 1/8" ID to fit the factory exhaust. Overall installation was easy and the whole process took less than 15 minutes from start to finish, but I got lucky. Hold those Proper tools on hand to change the outlet port on the muffler Sounds good at idle (at
Pros
BUILT TO LAST - Internal baffles and mechanically linked tubes allow expansion and contraction with changes in temperature to minimize warping, while OE-style swivel heads and spot welding provide structural strength and longer life
