Re: 33 Super Eight Questions 1003

Borla East (Lebanon, New Jersey) has a long history of making Eight, Super 8, and Twelve mufflers of stainless steel from original drawings. The Twelve in particular is a complicated affair with it's intergral resonator. I have one of their mufflers on my 34 Eight and was more than satisfied.

My 34 Eight does not have traditional welting between the fenders and the running boards but it does have a fairly thick rubber spacer or gasket. I've sometimes wondered if slight dimensional variations in body assembly were adjusted with different thickness rubber spacers.
