I actually bought the "1 muffler' version, then I realized belatedly (like when I got the exhaust system out to my sonett) that I already had the rear MSS muffler! Oh, and MSS headers, too, but that's it... so I had a rusted MSS header and a perfectly good MSS tailpipe resonator, and now I have new MSS from the headers back and an old MSS tailpipe.

Anyway, It did take me 12 hours, but I like to drink beer while I do really dirty work. Once I get drinking a little beer, I get really slow. Also the fact that I did it between 8 PM and 8 AM probably didn't help. Sunrises from under a sonett are pretty cool.

Anyway, other than my killing my starter motor, hopefully by drenching it with WD-40, installation was straightforward and quite easy. I was able to install everything using only a large floor jack on the engine crossmember, the part under the engine/flywheel, the part that looks REALLY strong.

Naturally I hacksawed the old header off, that was when I looked at the weld and saw that it's sort of an MSS signature weld. Then I looked at my tailpipe tip again and noticed that it's the same ID as the MSS OD and had a resonator baffles in it. I was so happy!

Of course when I had to push start the car to test the exhaust, I was cursing myself for not shielding the starter motor from my shower of penetrant. I hope this self-repairs, but I'm not going to hold out hope.

Anyway, enjoy, Yes all the hangers necessary came with the $10 install kit. The only parts you will need are new gaskets if you want them (or a 'smear of silicone rubber') and lots of WD-40 for the studs. Like I say, ONE of my header nuts was easy to get off, that's it. The others were excersises in patience and lube. Unfortunately the lube part got a little out of hand, as my starter is now telling me...

Later
