IE mid muffler replacement needed

[Johnny Riviera]

Hello,

 

I have the IE exhaust on my 73 and really have liked it, BUT something has broken loose inside the middle muffler, and it now has an annoying rattle. It is my understanding that I can't just get this part. Is that correct? If anyone else has experienced this, any recommendations on what to replace it with? Or, how loud is it it without it? And negative effects removing it? I know sometimes removing a restriction results in a loss in bottom end torque. I do know the rattle is driving me crazy!

 

Thanks,

 

John

Ireland replaced my broken resonator years ago. Give them a call. 
 

It’s important that you use the exhaust hanger at the back of the transmission; it keeps that center section from bouncing.

Thanks, I will check that out. I do have that hanger connected. Whatever broke is inside the muffler, you can hear it when you tap on it. Like one of the baffles or the perforated core.

That’s the same thing that happened with mine.
