Stole your muffler? They cut it off?

You know things are not going well when someone steals your muffler.

Please tell me your muffler bearing is at least still there. If not, I have the hook up on them. Shoot me a PM.

Wow that sucks. Honestly, though, who steals a muffler?

Was the muffler visible from a normal standing position outside the car? I know I can't see muffler on either of my cars unless I actually bend over to look. Makes me think either someone heard your car and knew you had an aftermarket muffler, or it was someone you know (maybe a vague acquaintance) that knew you modded the car. A friend of mine had his whole multi-thousand dollar stereo system stolen from his car a few years ago. Funny thing is, the thief knew exactly where he hid his amp and had all the appropriate tools to take out the front passenger seat and unmount the amp as well as the well-secured head unit (i.e. not your typical "smash and grab" thief). My friend still contends it was someone he knew, or a friend-of-a-friend that knew about the value of his stereo.

Well are you NOT going to notice a huge Apex-i muffler sticking out hetfield?

I don't know, I've never seen one that I specifically knew was an Apex-i muffler; that's why I asked. To me, its just like a gigantic wing: it doesn't interest me all that much and I'm never putting one on my car, so I don't bother to learn the brands and models.

Well I don't have pics. yet, but my rear bumper is a little different than a normal SE, well how do I discribe it..... well the bottom of the bumper is notched out and it has a fabericated side pcs. that make the car almost as low as the side skirts. The reason I had a apex- is because you can see from behind and I need all the little ponys I can get out of the little 4-banger, not as some of you may think it not to be a so called ricer,(I drive a ford not an import) and to let my friends here at ceg the apex- muffler is a big difference, I have tried several different kinds.
I will try and get pics of my car soon for you guys.

was the muffler welded on or only clamped on?

well if it was someone you know, either they are gonna sell it, or put it on their car, any of them have a car it could fit on?

That's what I would like to know.
This is the wierdest thing I have ever heard.

sorry, yeah it sure was welded on, well it was welded, i think they use a really big set of bolt cutters, b/c the pipe is pinched off clean, and the hanger has a clean looking pinched look to it to, Well it's so bad that I just ordered another one, its by far the worst souding thing.

Who steals a $50 muffler? Honestly!
Posted By: shaved tour Re: what a great day! - 08/14/03 12:16 PM
Well I'am sorry to tell you but your not even close by saying $50 muffler, if you think its 50 bucks I need to know who can by a apex-i muffler for that.
