    Default I need advice! :)

    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?

    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.

    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.
