A Year ago I tore up our muffler backing in to our driveway. I had to move the coach without the muffler and was surprised about the acceptable sound level. It is impossible to get anything for a Newell in Corpus Christi TX. I eliminated the muffler all together and just replaced it with flex piping. I drove about 6000 miles this way and never had a complaint at camp grounds, the authorities, camp Newell, and most important of all, the wife. I averaged 8.1 mpg towing our quad cab dodge truck.
