John,
Beautiful car, sorry you have to part with it. I am looking for new
mufflers and I noticed your Magnaflows look good and appear to fit well.
When previously looking at Magnaflow's site, I didn't see a muffler like
yours. Do you have a part number or dimensions? Was it difficult to make
them fit?
Thanks,
Art
