Through a list member, I'm in the process of acquiring a (slightly)
used exhaust setup for my 83 diesel, which came to me with a butchered
exhaust setup. Don't know if it will be any quieter, but at least it
will be right.

Though the diesel setup is much simpler than on my 90, I've never seen
one installed and need some input. The engine has two flanges, right
and left, that more or less match the two flanges on the muffler (I
haven't measured but it looks so). Should there rubber pieces for
flexibility, or should muffler and engine flanges bolt up directly?

Thanks,

Jim
