Finally got the SS heat exchangers and the new Dansk OEM style (banana/sausage) muffler installed and the car fired up. Let the car idle while all the oil and grease smudges smoked off. While I was checking for exhaust leaks, I was feeling around the flanges of the muffler to heat exchangers and felt air.
Turns out that it was the muffler that was leaking along it's center seam. Damn! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) It leaks right above the drivers side flange, about a 6" long section is blowing air, and another small leak on the passenger sides end. All of them are on the seam between the two halves. Looks like a call to the vendor is in order and another back order wait. Well...it looked good and sounded good for a while. |

Got my replacement muffler. The vendor 2nd day aired it. (aired...is that a word?)
Brad, you are correct...I did the magnet trick on the muffler and it no sticky..except for the flanges, pipes and welds. This is very interesting because the first muffler I got, just the tip was stainless. Everything else the magnet would stick to. The other thing different between the two. The SS one has two angled support braces coming off the inlet flanges back to the muffler seam where as the mild steel one does not. The part numbers are the same....both revision "D" but the other stamped numbers are different. 03 96 for the mild steel and 19 02 for the stainless. Hopefully this new one will not leak. Seams look better on the replacement. |
