convoyduel Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Is the 8.5” diameter chrome muffler with 4” inlet/outlet still available anywhere? Also, trying to source a chrome R model elbow.

mowerman Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 If I were you this probably isn’t what you wanted but it’s what I am going to do with mine put in the bottom type muffler with a chrome stack I’m sure they would both be easier to find good luck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69578-chrome-muffler-for-r-model/#findComment-495795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

convoyduel Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 I’m a picky bas**** and really want something as close to how this came as possible. I can absolutely polish and save the muffler but the elbow is a bit too damaged for my taste. I’d prefer the new muffler. I was shocked when Watt’s didn’t still show the shiny muffler in the b model shop. I did buy the 5” muffler on Iowa80 for the Rubber Duck Western Star and it is perfect. Want to stick with 4” on this puppy. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69578-chrome-muffler-for-r-model/#findComment-495814 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 No no way don’t even consider those they are definitely hideous I don’t know why anybody would think they were good looking of course everybody has their own taste Again good luck have you considered checking a regular muffler shop they might have an idea for you:..

Mike Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I was thinking more like galvanized trash cans. They make the deepest sounds and can be chromed. After going with these, you want go back to the wuss kind. I guarantee the ladies will chase the vehicle down the road. OH!, BTW, you will want to get the brightest headlights so folks can see their cell phones in the vehicles in front of you. Also to be popular with the millennials, get a lift kit for the front end and raise it at least 10 inches.

Joey Mack Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Paul.... I wish that a few of my customers, werent so concerned about lookin good.. I have charged more money for labor for LED's and Chrome than I should have.. I tell them... Let me fix it to D.O.T. compliance.. (Our Law dog's) here in the state's.. I have one guy that paid me $1500.00 to put light's, stack's ,and Chrome on his W900L.. But it needed that money put towards the F'd up lighting harness's and a fan clutch, and gaskets, and so on... Am I on the same page with you sir? jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69578-chrome-muffler-for-r-model/#findComment-496656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
