Just trying to add some content to the new website.
My 71 CL350 mufflers are rusting out in a couple of different spots. I was able to weld a 1x2" patch to cover one, but I expect that this will continue to be a problem. I already noticed that another spot blew out after I patched the first one. And they're getting quite loud, which I don't like at all. My target is a stock sound and look.
The aftermarket for these is almost non-existent. I found one option on CMC, but it looks like they would require some modifications to use the stock heat shield. One reviewer noted that they are louder than stock. I can't find anything that is actually a bolt on/weld on with the stock cover or brackets. Looking for the best alternative if anyone has one.
Secondly, I've found some mention of opening them up and rebuilding the internals, but no details on that. Does anyone have any experience or ideas about that as an option?
