    The stack that sticks out of my muffler is ripping at the base, so im assuming I need a new muffler and stack...but freightliner wants $400 for muffler and over $300 to put it on.....so im scouring the internet looking for one.........so my question is are the engine specific? Do I have to buy one that's is made for my engine?

    I have an 07 columbia

    I just ordered a donaldson M100463 for my 07 Century. It was $95 from Ryder Fleet. I got a bunch of other things too so shipping was free.

    This is supposed to be (at least according to searches on TTR) the same as the PP muffler without the PP name tag.

    It is a standard 5" inlet/outlet round muffler. Walker Megaflow can be had the same way. Unfortunately, Ryder Fleet doesn't stock it that I could find and I settled for the Donaldson this time.

    Yes, but then your not supporting PP who does a lot for the trucking community. Bruce will answer any questions you have almost immediately. They do quality work as well. I'd rather order from a company I can build a relationship with, and who actually answers questions I have about parts.

    If you care to provide for him. Do so. He's been on here a couple times, I have called him even. No, I am not going to search out his latest comments.


    I don't care to deal with an arrogant person like that. Rebel127 and Mr Haney as well as a few others have done just as much for the industry as well.
