1980 LUV, 1.8l with weber and stock exhaust manifold.

What muffler you guys running? Love the power I have but stock muffler is rusted out. Want a replacement that flows better than original.

Thanks

I recently experienced a back fire which split mine wide open

I'm getting ready to use this one i found on ebay it was an exact match to the size of what i had.

make sure of pipe diameter and length.

You think there is any advantage to going with a 2 or even a 2.5 inch pipe vs stock?

A small muffler shop sold me a flow master wannabe called Impco. It's very loud.
