When I aquired the car in 2000, it needed a muffler. This was it's original muffler. That is 29 years on the OEM muffler. I have since replaced it with another OEM muffler, that I salvaged off my parts car. It is a little thin, but it doesn't leak. So I guess they can last a long time here in the salt belt too. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org sicvw.org ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
