Muffler work is complete.

Main muffler is a stainless Magnaflow 14211 and the resonator is a Vibrant 1140 "Ultra Quiet" The fitment of the muffler is fantastic. It is standing upright and looks totally tucked from the rear. Both inlet and outlet are offset to the same side. The resonator is about as wide as it can be. Wish it came in double offset, the in and out pipes would not have to be as curved. 

Just have to find a nice tip.

The sound is fantastic. Quiet'ish at idle and cruise but has a good sound under power, but not loud or obnoxious. 

I see more cleaning I need to do... sigh....

Jim, the muffler and resonator, are they what is considered to be flow through/unobstructed, or do they have internal baffles? They look about 2.5" in dia. yes?  The car is looking good, got a buyer yet?

They are both flow through. The resonator is 2.25 and the muff 2.5. 

No buyers yet. Going to a car show tomorrow out in Radium BC so the 73 still thinks I like it, then will get to proper advertising next week.

 

I have some nice tips

If you just had a propane tank hooked to those like the old batmobile, now that would be cool.

Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup now...

How can you resist not taking this puppy home?

 

 

Very nice Jim, wish I was in the market for another one. Would scoop it up in a heartbeat.

Went out to the shop Thursday morning and discovered a wet spot under the rear end. Now what the hell is going on? I've put a total of maybe 100 km on the car so far.

Turned out to be a leaking side seal on the diff. This will never do. Ripped the whole dang rear end apart and while I was at it did more "detailing". Decide the red diff and drive axles just don't fit the vibe so..

 

Here is the seal. Totally ripped up. No idea why. The other side is perfect. Easy enough to change.

And removed all the grime from the back end. Down to the white paint. Not a hint of any prior undercoating, every  seam is exposed. 

I suppose this all should be undercoated, but not until the next owner sees this rustless wonderland.

 

Tempted to steal a helicopter and fly over to peak at this gem...
Nice work and tip of the hat for the open discussion of issues and repairs! Honest disclosure is always the best policy. You are indeed a true gentleman!

There's a big school yard right across the street. come on down!

Thanks also for the kind words. Just always works out best this way. Now if someone would just buy the dang thing before I decide I love it too much to keep it. That blue is growing on me.

Well I'm happy (and sad too..) to say this baby is history. She has been sold. Local buyer.
