Does anyone have the SS waterlift muffler with their A4 such as the one seen in the photo bill posted above on 12/31? This is the photo that shows the manifold, exhaust riser and the muffler can be seen in the back ground.
I have the same muffler that came with my A4 in my Pearson 10M. The muffler is Monel SS, I think, since the material looks very similar to my fuel tank. The muffler dia is ~7" and ht ~8" the IN/Out are both on top and about 1/34" in Dia.
I want to know people's experience with that muffler. I am guessing mine is stock from 1974. I don't see any leaks or much of rust. I need to decide whether to replace it with a new one (like the Naqualifts made of fiberglass) or just check this one, clean it and re-use it when I do my repower.
Option 1 would be - "don't mess with it if it is in good condition. These SS mufflers last a lifetime"
Option 2 would be - " don't take a chance. Since you are going to be working in the engine compartment and making othert changes, just replace it with the FG ones. The FG ones also are reliable and last a long time".
Or, there may be other advice/suggestions you may have.
Cheers.
