The muffler itself. pipes are fine. Midas will pay for the part, The
owner has been a solid  guy with me and I don't want to push my luck. He
will pay for the muffler , but I need to find another shop to install it. I
have thought about glass packs, but think they will be too loud.

    Which part did you blow out? If the pipes are still in good shape, a
    muffler shop shop should be able to weld some new mufflers in there
    (should be good for a few years at least). I&#39;m still running an Ans=

    I bought three decades ago, albeit with some &#39;Heartthrob&#39; glass
    packs stitched in; it&#39;s got a bit raspier sound--sometimes, people
    think I have a Nasty Boy--but I don&#39;t hear it much at speed. Some
    shops can fab a whole new set for you--minus downpipes--and it might
    not less than Moss&#39;s &#39;Tourist Trophy&#39; chromed set. Mike Lem=
pert, of
    steering wheel fame, was going to fab some Ansa knockoffs, but never
    did.<br>
    <br>
    Side note: There are two kinds of mufflers that I know of:
    glasspack, and &#39;turbo&#39; (baffled). The Ansa was glasspack, and
    originally made my car sound like a 6-cyl Ferrari (noticeably higher
    pitch). Anybody know what the originals were?<br>
