I added two short manga flow mufflers after the glass packs in front of the rear axle, they probably made it too quiet, still has a little rumble at idle, very quiet when cruising. I think we’ll get more use out of the car now though. Thanks everyone for the great input! Bill

Thank you all for the great advice! I’m currently planning on adding a couple of short Magnaflow mufflers behind the glass pacs. I’m hoping that they will cut pack on the exhaust volume without interfering with performance. I’ll let you know thanks Bill

My 71 Avanti 2 currently has a pair of “cherry bomb” glass pack type mufflers. Although the engine sounds great, the loudness is just too much for my wife and I. I don’t want to make the car too quiet, or loose all of it’s roar. I wonder if anyone has any recommendations for a nice sounding pair of mufflers that would fit the car, ones that would say “sporty Car” without waking up all of the neighbors . Thanks Bill

I've finished painting my 1971 Avanti and have replaced the carpets, now I'd like to address the passinger seat foam, the previous owner must have had the driver seat and rear seat foam replaced, they are in great shape and comfortable, but for unknown reasons, the passinger seat was not done. It's foam is flat and crumbly. The vinyl on all of the seats is in great shape. I'd like to try to tackle this problem if I can. I know there are preformed foam seat bottoms and backs on the market, I'm wondering If the seat foam used to make my seats is for a standard GM, Ford or Mopar seat, that I can order. I'm going to try to post a couple of pictures of the left and right seats in hopes that someone will recognize the seat, and can stear me in the right direction. If all else fails I'll try to find an upholstery shop.

I’m in the middle of trying to restore/repaint my 71 Avanti. The center of my front bumper looks good but the ends could stand to be replated. We’re located about 50 miles north or Raleigh NC, there used to be a plater in Richmond Va but I think the EPA chased them away. I wonder if anyone has had their bumper ends plated, what I might expect to pay and if there are any recommendations of who I could send them to. If a service has already replated these parts they might be better able to tell me if they can tackle this project for me. thanks Bill Avanti 2 RQ-B 1635
