This is the original muffler from my car . I was wondering if it can be saved/fixed.
Not sure if this will be required to pass smog on my 1976 as it is part of the original equipment needed to pass as a 49 state car in California . I currently have the repaired Bursch I got from Franz @drem914 installed on my car but not sure if this will be a problem when I go for my smog test ?    [attachmentid=957436] Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Oct 22 2025, 08:51 PM)  California is special... I have one other card up my sleeve when I go for my test . My car has BAR reports showing it has been passing smog in California since it first came here in 1985 .  |
