Hello Doug

I once bought a cheap aftermarket muffler like the one from
CT.  Never again.
Buy a muffler from the Busdepot at $80 US. Its as close to
the genuine muffler as you can get.  Also get the gaskets at
the same time.  By the time shipping, exchange and taxes are
paid it will be a few bucks more than CT, but you'll have a
much better muffler and with the proper backpressure .  Also
check the CT muffler ,  see if you can attach the tailpipe
to it.

Regards

Alfred
