I have an '87 Westy, and am going to replace the aftermarket muffler and cat with a set I bought from the Bus Depot.

The
 existing muffler was welded to the supports instead of using the 
muffler straps, so we will have to cut it off, grind the welds down and 
put the new muffler, tailpipe and cat in their place.  The new danish 
muffler has two fins sticking out from the body, running most of the 
length.  The input and output holes are to one side on the ends rather 
than centered.

I'm assuming you orient it so the holes are farther away from the body, but what about the fins?

I
 have two muffler straps which are short, and one quite a bit longer.  
We'll have to see which ones fit, and hope the mount isn't too buggered.

It
 may all make perfect sense once we get the old stuff off, but I thought
 I would check to see if there are any tips or suggestions that would 
make things easier.

Thanks!

- Mike
