Muffler Help! Original Muffler Finaly gave up.

[dedgar]

So my original fomoco muffler finally gave on my 1970 sport. I guess 47 years for a muffler is pretty good. ;D

Now I need to replace it but I haven't bought a muffler in say 47 years so, what are the best choices now days?

It's a 302 and was a single pipe exhaust.

Walker makes a stock replacement.

What are you looking for? Stock? Or more of a full exhaust change? Headers? Single or dual mufflers?

What was the date on your old muffler, could you still see it?

Should be stamped into the steel somewhere on the side. If it's rusty, it's near impossible to find and read though.

I like the Walker mufflers too. I just put 2 new Quiet-flows on my '75 F250. They have a nice mellow sound and no resonance. Now I'm going to put a pair on the Bronco to get rid of the new turbos that are kind of irritating. They have a lot of resonance that just bugs me. The stock replacements are probably just a little quieter than the Quiet-flows. I'd say you got your moneys worth from the original muffler.

Aluminized exhaust system for early Bronco.

Precision Exhaust.com is the way to go. They sell direct and thru the Bronco venders.

So I actually go under my bronco today to see the year on the muffler and notice the actual muffler isn't bad. No rust or holes, it's just the pipes going into and out of it. I think I just need new exhaust pipes.
Oh and the muffler is stamped
FORD
C9TA-52 30-Y
II 69 H

It's a 1970 but bought in December 1969.
