I my understanding from everything I have seen on original cars the muffler bodies are black but not the end caps. Do I have it right? Was it flat black or some level of gloss?

Original examples appear to have been painted standing on end with the inlet & outlet pointed down when sprayed.

My a AAR had no blackout and they were factory installed.


I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

Yep, painted. They look matte or flat to my eye.

Back soon......

Pic I took off eBay years ago. I have a set just like it that look the same. I think the NOS mufflers with the 1975 dates were the last years they came painted. The 1979 run of NOS mufflers I have seen have all been bare.
