No, that looks like a special order dealer item. Can only be re-installed with a left handed monkey wrench. I would hate to be you right now.

I would definitely spring for the aftermarket upgrade. They are made entirely of amorphous metals and plated in pure unobtainian. 1,000,000YR/ 10,000,000 Mile warranty. Available at K-Mart and online at Qbids.

I did the muffler delete yesterday but I did save the old muffler. So, if you wanted to upgrade, I have a SS muffler with the GMTU bearings. Only 29k miles.

Those bearings look very clean. Kinda stange that they failed already. I think you should put them back in and keep looking for the true source of he noise.

Don't forget to check the knuter valve. I just had to re-build mine, that was a b****...
