Bob,
I took a look at the muffler, but there are no longer any markings on it
that identify the brand. I checked through some old receipts, but didn't
come across one for this purchase. I feel fairly certain (from memory) that
this thing is an Anza exhaust. I don't know that these are even made
anymore, and even an Internet search turned up very little except a few
cars for sale with an Anza exhaust. They seem to be mostly associated with
Italian cars. (Fiat, Lancia).
Anybody else have one of these?
Gerard
