Original mufflers from EVO days and earlier are hard to find. Doubt I'll ever find original for my '89. And of course the replacements folks put on them are often the loudest they can find; that Kerker megaphone that was on my 89 was an ear buster. Wouldn't surprise me at all if some states pass laws some day that require OEM mufflers, good thing to hang onto even if you aren't using them now.

Thanks, that was a bonus, didn't notice that when I was taking the pic. His mom likes that one, too.

Bunch more of the little mechanic here, with silly captions:

Hoping to spend all day in the garage, my wife tells me the garage is full for a garage sale.
