Re: Aires muffler not fitting correctly
Make sure the engine has a 3 degree slope downward to its rear.

Re: Aires muffler not fitting correctly
Ken, here are a couple of shots of the muffler on my VE-28 chassis. It has the early style Aires muffler. The pipe is low but not below the rear axle housing. I don't know if this helps.

Bare chassis?

Re: Aires muffler not fitting correctly
Now I'm confused (nothing new). From that picture, it looks to me as though the pipe IS below the axle housing and exactly where it's supposed to be.

I'm sure you've thought covered it but it sounds like you're dealing with a chassis so the frame will sit higher until the complete weight of the body is on it . And as Tom said the rear spring will have an affect on it I've installed a number of those mufflers and not had the problem you are describing once the full body weight is on Larry. Shepard |

Re: Aires muffler not fitting correctly
Here's a couple of photos of an Aires muffler I recently installed the fit was good and when body's installed I think it will be below the rear axle housing .
