[C320-list] Aqua lift mufffer

[Doug Treff]

Greg, 

First thing you need to do is figure out if the leak is actually from
the base of the muffler (usually the screw holes) or if it is from the
exhaust-in port (hose coming from engine). The mounting hole fix is well
documented in this forum if you do a search. I have not heard of anyone
who has successfully repaired the exhaust-in port when it cracks. 

Here is a link to the fix process that I am referring to:

A new muffler can be ordered from Catalina Direct but they will most
likely want you to ship the old muffler to them since every one is
slightly different. That's probably an off-season repair if you can
wait. 

Hope this helps...
