Hi guys
Often time when I am trying to do some work on my car, I find instructions that skip certain things because 'everybody knows' some steps. Unfortunately, I don't know all the little tips and tricks. I just pulled off my exhaust - the car came with a a Bursch glasspack exhaust that makes a terrible sound. My car also came with a bunch of spares, I thought I'd try the stock muffler that came in the pile. Although there were no gaskets when I removed the old muffler, I assume there should be? Also, occaasioanly I see reference to copper nuts, copper paste, anit-seize - are there extra things I should be doing besides just using a new gasket and a bolt from Ace hardware? I would like to be able to get this muffler off in a year or so, so any tips are appreciated! Thanks pf |

Thanks guys!
I did the 'test bolt-on' of the used original muffler today. Took it out to get the mail, and it did sound better to my ears. Quieter too, although that is relative (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Gaskets are on order, and I hope to have it installed for real this weekend pf |
