Hi guys,
I have replaced my stock, original muffler on my 75 Vega (2bbl) against a NOS- part (with original GM- parts label) a few days before (thanks again to Clyde for his absolutely great support here and the search, ordering and shipping of this rare part !!!).
The new muffler looks perfectly like the old one and fit like it should.
The only difference to my old part (which I would rate as the one, that was mounted from the factory, as my car has now only 30tsd miles and everything looked like it was never replaced before) is the exhaust pipe end.
My old one was cut in a specific angle (see pictures) at the end while my new one is straight cut.
Could someone here verify what was the original setup ? I did not find any old pictures that clearly show the exhaust pipe.
Basically I would say, that the old (angle-cut) pipe looks better, but it the straight cut is original, I would keep the new one it like it is...
Thanks for every feedback,
Steffen
