. . . and?

My question is . . . Why have so many petcock covers gone missing?

The muffler weighed in at 4 lbs 11 oz before I cut it open. After cleaning with barbeque grill cleaner and removing the oil saturated stuffing (5000 miles worth) I'm off to Mighty Muffler to get it all welded up for $25. Decided not to replace the old stuffing and now I know for sure the inside is c...

After further review . . . and talking to my local Mighty Muffler shop . . . I've decided to fore go the access panel and just remove one entire side of the stock muffler.

Before I dissect my exhaust to clean it, has anyone located a system as quiet as the 70 dB original?

I figure if I can't cut a proper access panel maybe I can just install a brand new longer Briggs style muffler insi...

Good deal!
Thanks mouse . . . any other views?
It almost looks like a small Briggs style muffler is attached on the main input pipe?
