I have a couple of stainless Aries mufflers for the A's.The only reason I went stainless was because I live near LeBaron Bonny and when I go in for parts I always look at their discounted parts,dented,returns,damaged,etc.I happened to be there twice when dented stainless mufflers were put out on the floor.I got them for the price of new steel ones.I would like to get rid of the shine though.I thought time would tone it down,but five and six years are not making much difference.I have a muffler called the Beaver,(I think anyway) that performs well.I have some Argentine mufflers from the early 70's that have held up well,but you don't realize the difference until you pop one off and put the Aries on.I've never had the cracking problems others have talked about,but I've seen it on other peoples cars.Probably because I fit the system so that I can install the clamps with my fingers.Nothing is forced into place by the clamps on either end.I bend the pipes to fit beforehand.
