mufflers and tail pipe

I need two mufflers and a tail pipe that are rusted out on my 8.1 bounder. Does anyone know of a place I can have this done? I live in La Canada CA. I don't want to spend a ton of money on a full exhaust system.Thanks Tom
  • I bought a new muffler from Spartan and took it to a local rv mechanic and he installed it. I also bought a stainless exhaust tip on eBay several months later and installed it myself. All bolt on stuff! There are a lot of after market mufflers out there but after research the diesel engine mufflers were engineered to best operate as originally designed.
  • How many muffler shops within 10 miles? Any of them can fix you up.
  • I would go to a truck shop before going to an RV shop for this type of work. They'll have more experience and be cheaper.

  • no the rest of the system from the muffler to the manifold is fine. I was told that is stainless steel
  • There are a number of muffler shops on Foothill Blvd. from La Canada to Tujunga. Why not visit them all and get estimates? Anything else rusted?
  • I am thinking a muffler shop, a large truck repair center, even an auto repair center should be able to do the work or refer you to someone who can.
