My Gibson was the same way, I'll never buy another piece of exhaust that's not stainless.

I hear you on the stainless. Maybe when I do the vid I will get a pic of the muffler so you can see how bad it actually is.

I am going to have to look at a new muffler soon as well. My glass pack is a rusty chit bucket.

I would like to hear how loud the new muffler is inside the cab if you don't mind.

Have you noticed any power increase with a real muffler on there?

It is not loud at all in the cab, I will get an interior clip when I make a video.

The power feels the same according to the butt dyno.

I've heard that the humidity can actually carry the salt, guess that's not true??

The salt on the roads here was clearly the problem. They go salt crazy here every time it snows or even looks like it might snow.
