Muffler Change ‘69 Charger 12

Recommended Posts

Gentlemen,

 

I just changed the muffler on my ‘69 Charger 12.
 

There are quite a few Gravely 18543 aftermarket mufflers out there so I decided to purchase 2; 1 from Amazon for $45 and 1 from NAPA (7-03679) for $72. Both are made in Taiwan and while the Amazon muffler actually felt a tad heavier to me, its welded construction was poorer so I decided to use the NAPA muffler.

 

To complete the installation, I needed a 1.25” x 4” black pipe nipple and a 5/16” x 1-1/4” exhaust clamp (NAPA 733-5323).

 

In conclusion, it seems to me the sound out of the Gravely style muffler is noticeably quieter than the classic pepper pot. Worth the $80 to me!

Much better, personally I cant stand the sound of shower heads, I've got about 5 of them in my scrap bin. Nice job. :thumbs:

There's no worse sound than the pepper pot mufflers, its like the air is forced through the holes and it makes this harsh crack like a whip.  Add a 45⁰ elbow to that to push it out front and the sound will be even less harsh.

That's the same muffler I run on the '75 C160 Automatic.  Quieter than a pepper pot and a lower tone too.

I have a similar muffler on my 867. They definitely are a bit quieter.

      Looking for a replacement muffler for my grandfather's tractor I inherited.  Looks like they stopped making them?  Part number 92-6862.  Any help would be appreciated!

      I have a 522xi and noticed the muffler is glowing red as shown in this video? Should I be concerned and fix it to normal operating temps or is this expected?
       
      Thanks,
      JMack

      Pretty nice 16g on CL, pricey, cool looking rear picture.
      If I could justify the cost I might take a shot of having one.

      Decided to add a traditional tractor exhaust/muffler tonight. I think it turned out pretty good. Used a Ford Muffler and reduced it to a 1" pipe, welded the 1" pipe to a new exhaust port flange. Amazingly, it is a lot quieter now. Did not expect that.
       
      Next, I might add some little headlights on each side of the hood. Probably need a little coil to run them. Well see what I can find on eBay.
