I have used Cherry Bombs (yup $19.95) for years but they stopped making
the 1 3/4" muffler. So now I go to Mienikee Muffler shops and buy their
basic glass pack for $24. It fits fine, sounds good, not too loud, but
throaty.It is a bit quieter than the Cherry Bomb. The Midas equivilant
is much louder, (I have a new one if anyone is interested)
There are more expensive mufflers with chrome tips like Monza which
sounds nice too but at twice the price.
The RC40 Mini system is a bear to fit both peices on a Sprite. It was
made for a Mini and there is no room for the second muffler unless you
hang it across the back like the later Midgets. Even then it means
cutting up a new $120 exhaust system to fit the Sprite.
Just some ideas.
