I'm wondering if Midas/Speedy > are using stainless steel on the muffler but the pipes that are welded > to the muffler themselves are just mild steel?? If you patronize places like Midas or Speedy, you get crapola -- even if you pay for their "premium" stuff. I doubt they installed a stainless-steel muffler on your car at Midas or Speedy, unless it was a cheaply-made "universal" muffler. Even the best quality name-brand mufflers available for your '93 Caravan aren't stainless like the original Chrysler unit was -- they're aluminized steel, same as you'll get if you try to buy an "original equipment" muffler from the dealer. > The clamps that they used were corroded badly as well. You'd think they > would use stainless steel clamps?? At Midas? At Speedy? Pffft. |
