Mike...I had the opposite problem with my Super M. The previous owner must have gotten tired of removing the muffler clamp to remove the muffler to remove the hood, so he let the exhaust pipe with muffler attached rattle around in the manifold. You know what that did to the threads. I COULD NOT thread it in to the manifold no matter how many times I tried. I replaced it with a new piece of black pipe (2" dia., I think) from the hardware store. Nothing exotic, just black pipe. An 8" or so length cost $10.00. I was able to thread in the new pipe after cleaning up the manifold threads a bit with a wire brush.

I also wanted to paint the muffler, since it was black, so I bought two high-temperature paints. One was Rust-oleum "High Heat" silver color. The other was Specialty Sprays Premium Decor "High Heat" aluminum color. I tried the aluminum color, but I think it looks a bit too shiny--though it certainly wouldn't be mistaken for chrome. I think the other, silver color might look better--not so lively. I'm still looking at them both.

Can anyone else shed some light on what color looks most like the original muffler? Hope this provides some helpful info. David
