Original mufflers worth saving?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Mostly sure these are original. A tailpipe broke off one of these, maybe 15 years ago. The guy who welded a new one on said the pipe on the muffler had worn thin. I think that was the message, anyway. Multiple choice ;):

A. Throw them away with the pipes.

B. Save the mufflers because?

C. Save the mufflers just to have them, knowing they'll never be used and storage is at a premium.


Curious what's loose in the mufflers. Seems similar a ball valve, but I'm probably way off.

Not much in the way of rust here, but doesn't mean you're wrong. To me that means dump material.

The gravel they are sitting on is worth more than the mufflers. ;)

C because you know you're a hoarder. LOL

Throw them away. At some point old mufflers might have some value to weird people but space is a premium.

That said I just bought two more old metal gas cans because...

A). I love vented gas cans and the EPA banned those in 2004.
B). I love metal gas cans.
C). A goal is to have 50 gallons of fuel on hand for the next Derecho that hits.

Post 'em up on Craigslist as a pair of used duals for $25-$30. They will sell.
That gets them out into the 'recycled' world and sure beats throwing them into the garbage.
Besides.....$30 Beer money is beer money!...maybe even bbq money....lol.

all Good

You guys are hilarious. I'm leaning toward post 6. If that fails, then post 4. Thanks for the responses.
