I have a 2017 VB catalog--maybe I should put it on eBay as a 
'collectible?'--and they have half of a BJ8 muffler system listed (the 
outboard half of the front section, and the inboard half of the rear).

        Which part did you blow out? If the pipes are still in good
        shape,
        a muffler shop shop should be able to weld some new mufflers in
        there (should be good for a few years at least). I'm still
        running
        an Ansa I bought three decades ago, albeit with some
        'Heartthrob'
        glass packs stitched in; it's got a bit raspier
        sound--sometimes,
        people think I have a Nasty Boy--but I don't hear it much at
        speed.
        Some shops can fab a whole new set for you--minus downpipes--and
        it
        might not less than Moss's 'Tourist Trophy' chromed set. Mike
        Lempert, of steering wheel fame, was going to fab some Ansa
        knockoffs, but never did.<br>
        <br>
        Side note: There are two kinds of mufflers that I know of:
        glasspack, and 'turbo' (baffled). The Ansa was glasspack, and
        originally made my car sound like a 6-cyl Ferrari (noticeably
        higher pitch). Anybody know what the originals were?<br>
