I was getting an exhaust smell inside the passenger compartment of my '31. Turns out that sometime in the past someone had run over something (I don't remember doing it) and put a gash on the bottom of the muffler right at the front where the straight section connects to the bell. I fabricated a patch out of some sheet metal I had, welded it on, and the problem went away. My navigator was much happier too.

Re: Aries: Joe Davis (the owner) sets up a booth at many of the regional and national meets, especially on the west coast. If you contact him prior to the meet he'll bring a muffler for you and won't charge shipping. He did this for me for Turlock last January. I don't know if he's going to Ruidoso.

Might not help you too much, TomInCologne.
