I could not find an answer by searching, but this has probably been covered.
My '71 bus came to me with a bug style muffler, no tailpipes. Is this a big deal? Should I just pop some tailpipes on and call it good? What is the advantage to putting a proper bus muffler on? Thanks. |

| A bug muffler exits straight out the rear. Gases swirl back there and can come in the rear hatch, contibuting to the exhaust smell and loss of brain cells. The bus exhaust exits on the side for a reason 8) |

Mine too. The muffler is pretty loud w/o the pipes as they have baffles in them. I can fit pea shooters if I adjust the bumper a bit. However, they blow 1/2 into the bumper which heats it up. I will have to think of something. I don't want to spent money on a bus muffler because this one is brand new. And there are things the bus needs more then replacement of a muffler that has nothing wrong with it.
Maybe some creative plumbing could be done... One solution might be a zoom tube that is bent down. |
