I thought it would be interesting (i.e. morbid curiosity) to see of the horrific work we encounter from the previous owner. The first "Bastardization Award" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) goes to whoever created this muffler assembly in West Texas.

good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
