does anyone have any experience with these after market mufflers? they say
you can use the stock heat exchangers but it doesnt look right to me. also
the muffler looks pretty close to the rubber boot for the air intake, could
the heat damage the rubber? thansk kk
I've been thinking about getting a turbo blanket out of a junk yard that has
medium to heavy duty diesels trucks and modify one to fit between the
exhaust and boot to get me by till I can get a stock muffler and upper heat
exchange.
