hello all,
about 6 months ago i bought a 1999 310 with the 5.7 horizons and centek 1601484 mufflers.
when i just cruise at about 1500 or so rpm's for a while my port motor just shuts off for no apparent reason. if i let it sit for a while it will restart as if nothing happened. so....
the other day i had to go rescue my brother in law who was stuck with no steering. coming back the motor shut off. i was trying to start it, pressing the start button, moving the throttle lever up and down a little and BOOM !!!!! my muffler literally blew up. the bottom section of the muffler blew up.
questions:
will backpressure cause this to happen?
backfire? even if it did backfire i would assume the pressure should still be able to escape and not blow up the muffler?
can these mufflers be repaired?
anyone know where i could find a used one before i have to break down and spend 600-700 on a new one?
thanks in advance for any insight
