[Roadsters] wheels, exhaust

[Pete Peters]

Correct. The later (starting in '68?) stock steel wheels are 4-1/2 inch
width, which is stamped on the rim.

I'm pretty sure there was a thread or two on the 311s.org forums discussing
different muffler options/preferences. Some even with sound clips.

15".

Stock is 13" on the early 310's with drum brakes, and 14" for the later
ones. There's two widths of 14" as well, as I recall early was 4" and later
was 4.5" but don't quote me. Your 15" wheels came from somewhere else...

> My muffler is way too loud. I look underneath and see apparently 1 muffler
1/2 way back, and another near the rear.

The one in "the middle" is the muffler, and the canister near the end is a
resonator, to smooth out the exhaust note.

I suspect the innards have blown out of the muffler and maybe the resonator.
