    replacement muffler $500?

    Isuzu wants $500 for a replacement muffler. I orderd one from Ipartsonline, but it does not fit. Can I get the muffler that fits somewhere other than the dealer?

    Midas??? look in the yellow pages under "M"...for muffler.
    .................................................. or "E"... for exhaust.

    Maybe it doesn't fit because my vehicle does not have the original muffler? It is a big long tube shaped thing? Is that what came on it?

    Your tip about looking up "muffler" in the yellow pages was very helpful. Clearly I am not intelligent enough to post on this board.

    Midas or any of the above listed shops can install both a resonator and muffler and be as quiet as our factory mufflers. And if they can't find something quiet.

    Go to a GM dealership and get a muffler for a colorado or something. Mufflers are basically universal, a good muffler shop should be able to install basically ANY muffler on our vehicles... we have a lot of room where the muffler sits.

    Stop in a midas and talk with them for a few minutes... I'm sure the'll talk you through it

    I seem to recall an old thread where someone mentioned that a major chain they were trying to use indicated that it was illegal for them to install anything other than OEM.

    I find it hard to believe but ???

    You're much better off talking to some Yokels who can recommend a shop that is tailored to performance installs. (IMHO)
