Muffler repair/replace on '87 951
The stub pipe at the end of the muffler on my 951 has rusted out and I have to either get a new piece welded on and re-secure the exhaust tip, or replace the entire muffler and re-attach the exhaust tip. I don't know which. The existing muffler is OK, but broken as described.
If I need (or want) to replace the muffler itself, is there anything out there that would be a nice addition to a completely stock car? I need to get this done first thing next week so I can drive the car to the German Auto-Fest in Ventura.
If anyone can recommend a good muffler shop in the LA area where I can just go and get this done RIGHT I would appreciate hearing about it. I'd love to have the time to research this correctly, but I don't want to show up at Ventura with my exhaust dragging!
TIA for any ideas or comments. Again, I don't want to spend any more money at this time to do any real exhaust mods, but is there a nicer muffler I can buy and get installed? Or is there an "OK" muffler that I can get installed cheaply and quickly and then replace later.
I've heard that one should get a "non-chambered" muffler for a 951 since the turbo itself tends to muffle the exhaust somewhat by itself.
HELP!!!!!!
