Subject:Re: Which 2.1 muffler?
From:Jeff Palmer

A followup question - when converting from a 1.9 to 2.1 exhaust, you can’t just swap the muffler right?  You have to swap all the pieces?

I have a 2.1 from Boston Bob in my 85 but am still running the original exhaust (you know what i mean) so when the time comes to replace a part, I will have to replace the whole system right if i want to convert to 2.1 exhaust?

Thanks
Jeff
