Re: [T3] The Baroness


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Lori=> is there supposed to be something under
=> the air bellows thingy to protect it from heat?

Yes, the stock mufflers come with heat shield. Aftermarket mufflers do not.
This doesn't usually melt the bellows outright, but I expect the heat leads
to early failures of the bellows.

It is not a good idea to drive more than a little way without the bellows in
place, as this can cause engine overheating.
