[T3] Muffler choices - was 72 Fastback engine

[Keith Park]

There are some "Bellows Burners" that have a heat shield built into them,
they would definitely be better, but still... if you crossing Kansas at
110F, things are going to get toasty back there.

How far is your muffler from the bellows distance wise??

The Over the top is better but its known as the "Bellows Burner" for cooking
your bellows, the Stock is the only real GOOD choice, just keep your eye
open for one.

I bought one of these over-the-top mufflers for Foster a few years ago,
since the SCAT header that it came with was rusting out.

It is manufactured by Tri-Mil and I had no trouble mounting it up, something
you don't see often in aftermarket parts.  It has held up well and it
appears that will continue to last a good while.

I have been watching the bellows for any sign of melting or even getting
hot.  Nothing.  I see (feel) no problem at all.

Tell me your experiences with this exhaust system.  Anyone on the list?
