As you say, it wouldn't take long to find out... the challenge would be to find an early muffler in good condition, as opposed to an aftermarket replacement muffler.

Thanks.. I'll do some looking around..

In regards to the exchanger swap.. I'll let you know how it goes.. I have a lift in my garage which will make it easier but Im not looking forward to removing the rusted nuts.. My initial thought is to use a air tool to cut a piece off of each nut effectively damaging a very small area of the threads in each stud... be a hell of a lot better off than breaking one off... I need to do some searching and see what others have done.. I have replacements for the thermal reactors that just bolt up to the existing heat exchangers but without the additional HP upgrade id get from SSI's or early exchangers my motivation has been very low....
