Larry, have had several Thrush mufflers put on my 65 4/4. It is a streight,
clyndrical muffler about 3ish inches in dia. It fits nicely.

Basically that is correct!! As Richard says, there is a slight zig. In
fact I catually had mine make a slight U at the axle. I think that gave
me just a little more clearence. But it is basically streight and does
come very close to the rear tire.
