[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1849399, member: 39072"] The reason there was a muffler shop on every corner was because they were simple systems that you could fix. Didn’t have to have thousands of dollars of equipment to ensure your repair was up to epa emission regulations. You bought a stick of pipe bent it to fit picked a standard muffler of the shelf and welded everything together. Same for mechanics they where mechanics not like today where they are computer diagnostic technicians and need a 100k machine to be able to diagnose the issue. Why did we switch to aluminized exhaust pipe? Because with all the additional emission requirements the exhaust isn’t hot enough to burn off the moisture that accumulated in the exhaust system. As far as brakes being bigger today. I think you need to get your tape measure out. The stopping surface of the brake actually decreased by a significant amount when vehicles went from drum brakes to disc brakes. Wheel size increased because of the calipers on the rear wheels. Drum brakes didn’t require calipers . [/QUOTE]
