Update: ... 'Cuz I know y'all were dying to know how my mid-pipe crumple screw-up turned out
My new OEM gaskets arrived today, so I took those and the mid-pipes to a muffler shop. Showed the guy that I need the mid-pipe flange flared back out to accept the new gasket, to which he said, "No problem, gimme a minute." He brought it back out to me and the thing looks brand new, and the gasket fits perfectly Then he happily did the 2nd one, which came out perfectly, too. I asked how much I owe him, and he said, "Nah, nothing.", and really meant it. I tipped him $20. He reached for his wallet saying that was too much, that he'd give me change; I said, "No, this is perfect, I'm happy with $20." Best $20 I've spent in a long time. So, I should be able to mount up the new Muzzy's slip ons permanently tonight ... and see if I can live with how loud they are
