It is muffler time and I have already decided on the type, shape, pipe size.
I just need to find the maximum length that will fit under my 1970 convertible.
Replacement mufflers have a 14 inch body length—not the total length that includes the pipe nipples---- but just the length of the body of the muffler.
It seems that the next size in length is the 18 inch body length.
I could not find anything in between 14 and 18 inches.
Will an 18 inch muffler with 2.5 inch in/out and a 4x9 oval body fit in the muffler recesses?
It has been a long time (decades) since I seen an original muffler on a cougar but I thought that I had seen OEM mufflers that were a bit longer than 14 inches.
I searched the site and I found a lot of different systems but I could not find a definite answer on muffler body lengths.
I did not look up all of the part numbers that were given but the ones I did look up seem to use the 14 inch length.
I thought that I would ask before ordering mufflers that would end up hanging on my garage wall instead of under my car.
Cheers all.
