Hello all,

I've been wondering what this muffler is since I was in high school. Jim at EASY felt certain it's a two-pipe Abarth, but I can't seem to confirm that online. What I do know:

-I've seen two others, one on a car in person in Walnut Creek, CA and the other in a photo online.

-It is a very high-quality piece, pretty hefty, and very solid all these years later. Also sounds great (!).

Does anyone here know what it is? I just pulled it in the midst of my six conversion, and am not comfortable selling it as an Abarth if it is not. I've heard of and now seen a Stoddard "914 sport muffler" via Google Image, but they don't look the same (awfully close). I can't find any photos of two-tip Abarths, only four—and while the pipes look similar, they are not the same.

Anyone remember these from back in the day? I bought it as a used part in 1992~, so I am guessing it is from the 1970s or 1980s.

Thanks!

pete
