I'm extremely bored, so I've decided to show off my restoration of an old Greddy SP muffler I got from Tubbie.

$30 dollars shipped to my door this morning:

(Click to enlarge)

So I cut off the blown up part in the rear and enlarged the muffler inlet.



Now I can insert a 3" pipe just under the diameter hole I cut for a better seal when welding.


Tack the top and bottom.


Tomorrow I'll complete the welding, and move on to cleaning up the body of the muffler. :rofl:

That's all for right now. :)

(I began today by removing the surface imperfections.)


(TRUST) Hiding under the rust.


(Finished welding the new entry pipe.)


(I discovered a crack in the casing)


(Prep)


(Weld)


Now most of the physical problems are fixed, I moved on to cleaning a bit.

(Before slight pass)


(Afer slight pass)


(A little later I'll tackle this problem)

I'm still going to smooth it all down once more, and then shoot it with this high temp clear so it'll stay shiny.

It's kinda funny, I spent more on supplies to fixer' up than the muffler itself.

I was going to mention something to the effect of spending more on fixing the muffler than the muffler itself.. lol

Looking good Brent.

I really like the look of these mufflers. The new SP2 looks like crap IMO.

And the Greddy replicas on ebay look terrible too.

My tastes change constantly, so this muffler may be for sale when I get tired of it. :)

I love the shape of the muffler body, but the tip I could do without... something I don't like about a big oval outlet, and rolled is not my style. I may buy it from you when you tire of it and mod it further with a piece of 3.5" stainless for an outlet :D

mandrelbends on ebay are FTW.
I was looking at some 3" stainless straight lengths. $44 for a 4' section of it is pretty good, but you're right about the shipping... yeesh.

neverending modified muffler for life! (i'm totally serious, btw)

::edit:: you can have the tip when I cut it off, Brewster :drink1:
;) lmao
