Original muffler finally bit the dust.
« on: January 20, 2012, 02:56:46 AM »
Driving around the other day I heard that unmistakeable little backfire you hear when you have a hole in the exhaust...when I got home I looked under the car to find out the muffler had seperated at the weld....upon closer examination I noticed the muffler has an AMC logo on it....so at the newest its 24 years old...I guess I cant complain.

Isn't there some kind of warranty on it lol?  I think you ought to drive it into a Chrsyler dealer and tell them to replace it for free.

I'd love to see you take it to a Chrysler dealer and inquirer about warranty. HAHA!
That would be great
