Truck Fire damaged muffler
Odd question...
How much internal damage would occur to a Stainless Steel muffler (out of a 2000 Expedition) if the entire truck burned to the ground?
Can a muffler in this condition be used and be expected to perform OK even though the surrounding truck is no more? It otherwise looks like it is in fine condition.

>I'm sure it would be fine but why would you want it??
Cuz it's FREE!
...And It's engineered for a V8., so I think it may be OK performance-wise for a I-6 300cid. It has 2.5" tubing in/out.

Truck Fire damaged muffler
Prevent yourself any trouble and just buy a flowmaster muffler, they are cheap. Just because it's "made" for a V-8 doesn't mean anything. Ford uses the same muffler for the 4.9L and 5.0L I believe. The 5.8L's is similar but with dual pipes.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds
.
That's it for mods now, saving for a Stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.
