Anybody used one of the mufflers Jim Carter is selling? I found I can order a muffler through NAPA and was going to do that then I found the one Carter offers for about half the price. Usually its the other way around. Just wondering if there are satisfied customers using Jim Carters or if there is something I'm not seeing that would make it worth spending the money for the NAPA muffler.

I installed the Jim Carter muffler on my COE. It has the straight through passage with baffles, like the OEM one. The local muffler guy that I used to do my system thought it would be too loud, but it wasn't. Using it allowed me to use the stock bracket. In short, I am happy with it.

Thanks. I will probably go with that one. Anything is better than what is on it now which may as well be nothing.

As Kent posted, JCs muffler is like the original and the price is right.

Yep. Another YES for Jim Carters muffler and exhaust systems.
