Open it up and stuff it with stainless steel steel wool.

Why? They were and still are an abomination! I want my cars and trucks quiet.

Yeah, I wonder what the stuffing is composed of?

Personally, I miss the Purple Hornies, they were a wonderful high-flow “muffler”. Outlawed now, but in the 70’s they were fantastic. And expensive.

They are still for sale. Not that expensive. Google it.

I just looked them up on JEGS and was very surprised. Under $40 for one, with a header flange.
The last 3 times I have priced regular Glass Packs around here locally they were $75 and up, with no pipes on the ends.
I used to get them for $19.99 back in the day.

I miss the three big barns of GIJoes at Jantzen Beach. Shopped there a lot.

Yeah I remember the one over by the Horse track at Delta Park. . They had the aircraft fuel tanks stuck up around the East side of the parking lot

I went there because Builders Square was there as well. Dropped a lot of coin between the two… and they also had the Mongolian Grill which was a real favorite with me and the Wifey unit!

Oh the Mongolian Grill, good food but the smell was awful driving past it….

Trust me, Drew, the Purple Hornies of today are NOT the ones from the ’70s! Totally different construction. I know from experience.
We loved them, because combined with headers you got 25 more horses at the top of the power curve simply because the exhaust could BREATHE at high flow/output. Almost no back pressure at high flow.

Your ennginaring nomenclature is off egoor, exhaust EXHALES, not breathes, carburetors and throttle bodies inhale, “breathes”, so endth your lesson….

Sorry, Oh Great and Noble English teacher, There’s “breathe in” and “breathe out”…Thus endeth my corrective rebuttal.
