Hello Kevin,

Could you please provide basic dimensions and a part no. so I can check if these are a good fit for my Ford truck as well?

Thanks in advance!

Point to note the bosal one is the only one that fits from the saxo, the rest are oval cans.... They are te exact same size length as a carrier can, and the diameter is the same too.

I am busy making mine, images etc on my thread, I make the top loops and bottoms out of stainless steel.

Richard,

Thanks, seen your work on your thread, looks good! Can you post a picture of sticker info / part number of the Bosal muffler?

Michael sent me a picture of an original Carrier muffler, they are 42-cm or 16.5-in long, whereas the truck one is a tad longer at 18-in. Of course the Carrier uses two mufflers whereas the truck only uses one.

Regards,
Hanno

Literally just stuck mine on.... So much quieter ! I have not mounted the brackets in this image.

All my piping including that which goes back to the elbow in the floor is all stainless steel.
