Good day to all.
Question : I have a "Leistritz" (made in W. Germany) Typ VW Porsche 914/4 OEM "Banana" muffler. Is there STAINLESS STEEL under the gray top coating ? This is an original muffler with only 1,000 miles and the metal under the thick gray finish/coating appears to be STAINLESS STEEL. Any thoughts, ideas ? PM or reloportland@aol.com Thank you. |

Even if it' not ss, it's a great muffler. I just refinished one last month and it appeared to have a little rust in a couple spots. Never crossed my mind to check what it was made out of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I was extremely lucky, picked that one up for $125. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Added 2 hours labor; blasting, sanding, prep and paint. I've seen similar ones go for north of $400. |
