I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Didn't have a drill bit that big so i hammered a very long nail into the muffler from the end hole. Worked great and i got through the first few baffles (nasty growl now and picked up 3 mph), but with about 6 inches of the nail left outside it started to go through the wall due to the angle of the end hole. Any way around this?

My exhaust looks different from yours. Maybe it's a different year?

That looks to be a Spree exhaust or something similar...Looks just like the exhaust on my '85 Spree.
