At the end of last season, I started to hear a rattle noise in the back of the engine compartment. Automatically, I was worried of a transmission problem. It turned out, the muffler had a rattle coming from the inside. I decided to cut it open. The center chamber tube was no longer seated. The passenger side tube lost its seal as well. Below are some pics. I’ll post more as I continue the rebuild.

I cut the top off of the muffler, sanded the inside and added peanut butter to areas with gaps.
