Well, I guess I am a heretic on here.  When the muffler on my camper gave
out, I just took it to a regular muffler shop.  The muffler they put on
does exactly what I want a muffler to do, that is, muffle the noise.  My
van is very quiet.  I know, you are supposed to keep it original, and they
welded it on.  Oh well.  No running problems either, which a mismatched
muffler might induce.  I have no idea what brand the muffler is.
