If not using our special rear clamp please call me I will send you one, the stainless expands much more than steel and must be able to move freely at the clamp. 650-279-6609
The issues mentioned about the Aries Stainless Steel muffler were posted about 10 years ago. Since then we have taken steps to solve this issue of the the tail pipe breaking apart from the muffler. We found the expansion and contraction of stainless steel is 3 times as great a steel. We...
They only break because they are not mounted properly. The rear clamp has to sufficiently loose to allow for expansion and contraction. Not rattly loose, but sufficient to move if it has to. My stainless muffler has gone 27 years without the slightest problem.

Sheet metal panels in rear that hold window regulators and bolt to body. Need two, right and left. These are under rear windows. Call Joe Davis 650-948-6424 or email jdavis@amuffler.com
very important: Both steel and stainless mufflers must have room to move, there is a great deal of thermal expansion. Failure to allow the tail pipe to move through the clamp will result in cracking or failure of the muffler at the tail pipe connection to the muffler, it will also cause bending...
We need the rubber inserts for the rectagular plates that go on the bottom of the Middle vertical bow. Does any body know who might make these? Also need the body plates that these bump against when the top is up. Email for picture
