muffler

Post by wings »

Can anyone tell me where to get a rear muffler for a '72 600 sedan? It seems like there would be a muffler for a small engine or tractor that could be used in place of the original.

FYI, when I was actively driving my AZ600 (early to late 1970's), I replaced the factory muffler with a generic one from NAPA because the Honda part cost about 4 times the NAPA.  Dimensions were good; car ran quietly.  But it had absolutely NO power.  I gave it a complete tune-up, plugs/points/condenser/air filter/oil change... nothing would make it run well again.  (I wonder what a new coil and plug wires might have done for it? But it was running ok before I changed the muffler.) After suffering with it a couple years, I donated the car to the local junior college's auto-mechanics program.  Later I got involved with vintage motorcycles and learned that exhaust systems must be matched to  carburetor-jetting.  I wondered if the NAPA muffler had hindered performance of that little 600cc motor.
   Something to think over.  Any listers have an opinion?  ---Bryan O

Years ago before I discovered this group and had no thought that I could actually GET parts for the sedan I went down to Midas muffler and they pulled a little 12" glass pack out of stock and made me a nice exhaust from scratch- just the last two bends and then out the rear. It sounds fantastic and runs as good or better than stock. Wasn't much, maybe $60. We like it but it's NOT stock.

In 72 I had a glass pack on and seemed to have more power.  The one I have now I tried a muffler from a motor home generator but seemed to lack power so I put a glass pack on with more power...  I think the motor home one was just to restrictive at higher speeds

Check out this You Tube video.
It's a FLO-PRO 3300 MUFFLER TURBO PACK �.
 I used this muffler on my 70 sedan, with the stock pipe. It works & sounds great. The total cost was around $110. Installed.
