cut away view of stock muffler?
 

Well, I have been searching for hours on Google and this site looking for a cut away picture of a stock C5 muffler. If there is anyone out there with one, I would really appreciate it. Post up, PM, email, etc...

thanks in advance

I've got a set of rusty ones from a Katrina car, if I get a chance next week I'll cut one up and take a picture for you. :cheers:

do I have to break out the plasma cutter on this one?:D

edit: forgot, just tossed the stock sets i had to the scrap man

Back to the top

They may be dirty, but I doubt they are rusty as they are stainless steel !

There was a pic a few years back........anyone??

A forum member modified the inside of the mufflers 6 or 7 years ago and posted pics of the inside but I think they are no longer part of the archives.

Hmmm? I guess I am not the first person who has thought of doing this?

Edit: I would guess by the number of views, I am also not the only person curious about the inside of a stock muffler?:lurk:

I cut mine open and I found these :eek:

WOW! Muffler-Bearings.

Those muffler bearings are really rare seldom keep alive in captivity, I would keep them in a safe place if I was you!:thumbs:

Jees and I thought muffler bearings were next to the Kanewtin valves! :lol:

Corsa has a cut up stock muffler and one of theirs on exhibit at Carlisle every year. There is a substantual difference. The Corsas go straight thru and the stock ones look like one of those mazes a rat runs thru.

I hear you have to use a left-handed monkey wrench to get these out.

this must be the bearing that I keep hearing about that causes drone

I heard the same thing :willy: hahah You wanna repack your muffler bearings and change your blinker fluid about every 12,000 miles :D
