A few years ago I was in the position of needing to replace my Westy's corroded
gold plated ($$), diamond encrusted ($$) stock VW muffler with a new gold plated
($$), diamond encrusted ($$) VW muffler or another brand. I chose to go with a
Canadian Tire muffler. Six years later, the muffler is still going strong with a
lifetime guarantee to boot.

Unfortunately, there's no after market replacement for the hangers, which are
ultra expensive. :(

| I wonder if any of you have experience using a generic muffler in place of the
stock.
|
| I'd think that the inlet and outlet sizes need to be the same as stock, and
the body of the muffler should be about the same shape/dimension as the stock.
|
| Suppose the above parameters were met in a generic muffler - could it be used?
