Re: Muffler Repacking help
The picture you linked to shows a few mid plates that are spot welded in place. It's a different design, that's why it's different.

Re: Muffler Repacking help
Looks like it costed about $20 too much.I have cut a section out of the top of a sealed muffler before to repack it.Pain in the ass,and not worth it.If the muffler is so badly rusted out that the perforated tube is gone,you'll basically have to cut at least one end off of it,and weld in a new piece of perf'd pipe,then repack,then spot weld the end back on in a criss-cross pattern until it's all sealed up(to prevent burning the packing),then smooth the welded area that's visible when on the car.
In other words:not worth it.
Punch your buddy in the face for ripping you off,then get on Ebay and I'm sure for $30 you can find a sick ass JDM-as-fuck muffler.
