aiboart Member 665 Member For: 19y 10m 12d Posted 04/08/11 11:34 AM Share Posted 04/08/11 11:34 AM (edited) I have a dented factory rear muffler and some minor cosmetic damage on the oval chrome tip of my BA XR6-T. Whilst the car runs fine, cosmetic damage bugs me and I would like to replace the muffler and its tip.Ford wants $1,350 for a new muffler... Can anyone suggest an aftermarket rear muffler that will:fit perfectly to the car and the rest of the factory exhaust system without needing any modificationallow a car on standard factory tune to run as per normalhave a stock sound with stock volumemaintain the look of the oval factory tip Also, if the system has to be aftermarket it may as well be replaced with a stainless unit (shiny).Regards,aa Edited 04/08/11 11:35 AM by aiboart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a couple of Sydney wreckers that focus on these cars and none had any mufflers whatsoever.As per the above I think that the forum is likely the best bet.Regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone correct me if im wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aiboart Member 665 Member For: 19y 10m 12d Posted 09/08/11 12:23 PM Author Share Posted 09/08/11 12:23 PM Thanks to all for all the help and information.I am currently looking at a couple of options, including the possibility of a nice new shiny and very quiet (I hope) stainless cat back system. Actually any advice on which are the very quiet and civilized cat backs in stainless, which do not require departing from the stock BA tune, would also be greatly appreciated.Regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
