My center silencer has nearly rotted away, so my options are a new used original (already found one, very good shape. See pic) or build one from stainless steel (see pic in next post)
What would you recommend?

I need advice! :)

Keep it simple... just use the used one.

I would probably do the used one also, unless you want a different sounding exhaust

I swapped out mine for a used one back in August. I scraped away or converted any surface rust I found before putting it on. Very pleased with the results.

Thanks to you all, I just ordered the used original!

Benny, did you weld it on @ the rear silencer or?

I actually replaced the middle and rear as one glorious used chunk that I got off a guy for $75. The only welding I had to do was on the other side of the cat as I decided to switch down-pipes at the same time.
