Subject:Disappointing sound from new muffler
From:kenneth d lewis

Greetings and salutations;

        The new after market muffler and cat have been installed about
three weeks now. I am quite disappointed that it does not sound much
better than the old, rusty, swiss-cheese, piece of junk that it replaced.
It emits a flatulent, weazing burble that sounds like I need a new
muffler. I checked all the joints with a stethoscope to look for leaks
but all is tight.
        I ran into this problem with an after market Porsche muffler made
by Dansk that was about two thirds the price of OEM. I get the feeling
that this might be a third world economy knock off  without the
acoustical engineering i.e. looks identical from the outside but not the
inside. Anyone else notice this?

Drive Safely & Good Luck
