Advice for New Muffler
Hello all, started my AURA up for the first time in a week and it sounds as though the muffler is shot - louder than hell, too! Any suggestions which shop may be better Midas, NTB, or any other national or regional chain?

Re: Advice for New Muffler
I'd be willing to bet its not the muffler, but a snapped bolt around the cat area. I've had a couple replaced. I prefer Meineke over Midas, but last time I just went to the local garage.

Thanks. I hadn’t even considered that.

Re: Advice for New Muffler
Mine was noisy at the inlet pipe to the resonator. I replaced it with this:

Re: Advice for New Muffler
Thanks for your replies. It turns out 2 bolts for the exhaust manifold were rusted through and fell under the car where I found them laying on the carport concrete. I had the car towed to the dealer on a Saturday morning and got her back the following Monday. She sounds, rides and handles like the day I bought her. Speaking of which, today is the 10th anniversary of when I first saw and test drove my AURA and I purchased her on Sunday, August 31st, 2008. I love my AURA!
