Title: Darrin Muffler
Post by: darrin502 on April 26, 2018, 10:38:31 AM: Can anyone tell me the size of the original Darrin muffler. As you know I am finally restoring an original car and have never installed the original exhaust system.
Thanks
Lee

Hope this helps!

I had a choice of an OEM type muffler with 2 baffles, 1 baffle or no baffles.

Post by: joefrazer on April 27, 2018, 06:18:19 AM: I purchased the system for my Darrin from Waldron's. For those considering the same, know that there was more than one configuration used by KF when they originally built the cars. The difference lies in the exhaust pipe and how it drops from the manifold and then wraps around the steering box and frame. You'll need to know this when ordering.
