Subject:Paint a New Muffler. Last Longer?
From:neil n

Hi all

Just got done stripping (best I could) and painting the muffler
brackets with VHT header paint.

http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/flameproof/   Figured I might paint
my new Ernst muffler with that stuff.

Has anyone actually found that painting a new muffler helps it last
any longer than "normal"?

My understanding is that if one does mostly city driving (short trips)
the muffler may rust out from the inside anyway making painting it
moot. Anyhow. Figured I'd ask now before installing the part.

Neil.
