I was going to trailer it down to the muffler shop, but my corvair buddy advised against. Muffler shops don't know how to deal with corvairs. I found out that you cannot hang the mufflers off of the body. You will end up breaking the welds due to how much the motor moves. Mufflers have to be mounted to the end of the motor with a strap. I ordered everything from a Corvair catalog. I will just have to show you what it looks like when it comes in. Since the motor is a 140 they had dual exhaust from the factory. It should have a intresting sound.
