Yes, very unfortunate, as it seems impossible to have a muffler galvanized
yourself. Just phoned maybe a dozen shops, but none of them wants to do it.
Apparently it could do all things possible between warping (because of the
thin sheet metal) and blowing up while in the zinc bath!

Maybe a solution is to have it sandblasted and then paint it yourself with
aluminium paint?
