Default muffler

When I redid my carrier I bought mufflers for the Pontiac Firefly car from Canadian Tire -they fit well and do the job at modest cost -I made a jig from an original pipe that goes from manifold to floor elbow (its rather heavy)-using the jig I had a new pipe made up and tack welded the flange to it-I then installed it pulling the flange up to a proper fit to the manifold-then I took it out again and welded the flange solid -Greg

If anyone wanted to know I found out that the Original muffler body length is 17" and the offset looking from one end of the muffler like a clock is 12:00 and 9:00.

Hello Kevin,

Could you please provide basic dimensions and a part no. so I can check if these are a good fit for my Ford truck as well?

Thanks in advance!

Hanno

Point to note the bosal one is the only one that fits from the saxo, the rest are oval cans.... They are te exact same size length as a carrier can, and the diameter is the same too.

I am busy making mine, images etc on my thread, I make the top loops and bottoms out of stainless steel.
