Default Muffler Question/Problem

A previous owner had true dauls put on my 79',the pipes are in great shape,but the mufflers are starting to rust out and getting loud(no there's nothing wrong with loud).I want to put a set of stock mufflers on but before I order them what should I ask for?Will stock 79' Mufflers fit the 74 style pipes,if they are 74 style pipes?Is the actuall exhaust system different through the years or are the PN's on the mufflers different because of sound requirements.What should I ask for?

You won't pass NY inspection without your original exhaust configuration unless you "know a guy..." Specifics for inspection can be found on line.

i believe all the years are the same for exhaust. from the ones i have seen the underneath is the same with the two holes passing through the frame even if they are single exhast back. I would think as long as th einlet of muffler is the same size as your pipes you should be ok.
