Had problems starting my driver and after a couple of back fires it sounds LOUD. Is there a replacement muffler (cheaper) that can replace it with instead of buying a $ repro? Thanks in advance !

Any local muffler shop should be able to fit something in there. JMO

Make sure it is not just the connection to the manifold. Easy fix.

Good Morning...You might also check the condition/age of your condenser. Ernie

If it were mine, and I had to replace the muffler, I'd spring for the Aires. JMHO
