Unless your present muffler is really bad, a new one won't help. I got one a few months ago from Bus Depot and it actually made the sound louder than before. Not a complaint, though, as I like the resonance of it. There's something appropriate about hearing the engine in these old cars, in my opinion, but to each his own. I find that the rear mattress deadens the sound a lot in itself--do you have a mattress in there? |
