<VV> wrong muffler and other ramblings

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Ray,

Be sure the crossover pipe is the same shape - a longer muffler makes me think it may have come off an FC, and FC crossovers point to the right a bit more than a car crossover.

Based on the results I believe I brought home a 1960 exhaust!  This would be my fault as I picked the exhaust from the pile myself and not being very familiar with earlies didn't know what to look for.  At any rate the muffler is too long and seems to want to set itself in place to have the tailpipe come out through the rear grill... thats why I figure it's a 1960 part.  Also the muffler has a bracket on the back right above the tailpipe.  It's a shame because the muffler looks just about brand new... I'll have to see what the inside looks like when I take it off the y-pipe.
