Re: EPIC 1985 aero 50/80 swap

there is a little 3-4inch section of glass packing in the base of the muffler but no plastic you should be safe just throwing it in a fire and walking away just make sure the base doesn't turn red or the glass might melt but i doubt it will effect noise or performance
