Our muffler when tapped on the outside creates a clunking sound that may indicate something is loose inside. Could it be the baffles? We replaced the rear tail pipe clamp with a flexible type mount so there is no effect from that.

Along with what Tom mentioned I have heard of the gland rings melting down and going into the muffler

We found one gland ring inside when removed for engine rebuild and that was it. Am not sure who's muffler it is but fits and works well.Short of replacing it, we've never heard a ring or clanking sound on an A muffler when tapped on the side with a rubber hammer.

by AL in NYI need to buy a new muffler and was looking at the HP Stainless Steel Muffler that Snyder's sells. But I have one question. Has anyone installed this muffler and how much louder is it from
stock? Is it the Aries muffler which has the same part number.

by ClaudeCWhere Can I purchase couplings that can be used to connect muffler to exhaust pipe without welding? I assume it would be a thinner fitting that inserts into the muffler and exhaust tube then is clamped in place.

by dmdeatonOk, our roadster came to us with a stainless muffler and pipe. I have slowly been stripping off most of the period style accessories that came with it. Too much bling. After helping a friend swap out engines in his, I noticed the nice Model A exhaust tone with his running. Mine doesn't sound like this, not bad, but not the slight whistle at idle? What muffler setup is a good stock replacement?

by DennisDoes your exhaust pipe rattle at certain rpm? Recently I noticed at certain rpm or when I back off the throttle I get this rattling sound that sounds like it's coming from the exhaust pipe. I know it's not the engine pans, ran without them for a road test. Everything else is tight and when I bump it with the palm of my hand no rattle. If I bump the exhaust pipe after the muffler body I can get...
