Default Help Identifying Ruined Muffler

My muffler blew out last week, as in the whole bottom fell off one side. :D After taking a look today, I found out why... It seems as though the blown mufflers was installed backwards!!! Unbelievable... Anyway, I took the numbers off the muffler and was hoping someone could help me identify the manufacturer. The muffler read

H O J
1 0 6 8

These characters were enclosed by a square... Anyone have any experience and can help?

Thanks,

Stephen

No help here, but why not just replace both of them? Was the other one installed correctly?

Without the name of the company that made the muffler, you probably aren't going to find a replacement.

I am replacing both of them, but I hoped I could figure out what manufacturer made them. Can anyone tell me how their mufflers are ID'ed so I can eliminate some brands?

Flowmaster?
DynoMax?
MagnaFlow?
Borla?

Thanks,

Stephen

PS- I swore the previous owner claimed the mufflers to be flowmasters. That ever they are, they sounded great!
