So I've noticed this "buzzing" sound for the past few weeks in the teener. I gradually got worse...... I noticed a lot of backfiring during deceleration...... it gradually got worse as well.

Today, my wife and I go out, and the car is LOUD as hell..... gargling and backfiring all over the place. I crawl underneath it....... low and behold, the muffler has almost literally exploded.

Off to Auto Zone.... got some quickie muffler patch-up stuff.... patch it at my parents house..... let it dry for a couple hours while watching a movie. Drive home.. car sounds much better, no more backfiring.. car feels to have a lot more power.... I'm pretty happy.

Nope... the patch falls off halfway home..... gargle gargle.... pop pop pop..... back to square 1.

Obviously my car runs good with the exhaust thats on it..... so I need to stick with something exactly like it, or very close........... but I have no idea which exhaust it is.

I took some quick pics...... I know some of you smart guys will know exactly what it is...... plus you can see how my muffler exploded (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Lastly..... I looked on eBay........ NOTHING. Whats the best (cheapest) place to get this exact exhaust.... or one just like it??

Thanks in advance for all your help!!

Matt

if you followed the hanging flap all the way to the end, was it at a seam? you should have saved it for wall art in the garage.
