Kepich "Torpedo" Muffler
Attachments :
A few weeks ago I ordered a "Torpedo" muffler from John Kepich at Kepich
Exhaust, Inc. in Fort Meyer, FL. Kepich had run an add in the WTN under
"Reproduction Parts." After talking to John on the phone, I opted for a
stainless version and sent him a check. The cost was $240 plus shipping.
This past Friday it arrived, but I'm not too sure it will do. Looking at
the '26 Instruction Book, the chassis lube drawing shows a muffler with two
straight taper ends and a small cylindrical center section. The Kepich
muffler has domed ends like those shown in the '29 Instruction Book, but with
some fancy little "dimples" added to the domes.
The picture shown in the '26 book looks to be an older model, so maybe
the muffler is older also. Can anybody say for sure?
I have posted two pictures of the muffler to the Files section of the
list home page, but due to the ruckus caused by the yahoo takeover, I have
attached one to this post. Sorry if this causes anybody any problems!
