Woot, got the wrench out of the Flowmaster this weekend!
 I forget how many years it has been stuck in that muffler but I got sick of staring at the rusty muffler so I started shaking it around and bunch of rust fell out and so did the 3/8 Craftsman wrench!  Now I can throw the muffler out. I'm thinking it was 2004 when I pulled the headers off and dropped the wrench and it slid down the exhaust pipe and into the muffler.

No, I had unbolted the exhaust from the header already and I was taking the header bolts out and dropped the wrench. It never landed on the garage floor, so I didn't know where it went. When I picked up the exhaust pipe/muffler it slid down the pipe and into the muffler. The way the Flowmaster mufflers are made with the deflectors inside, it went in but wouldn't come back out. I wasn't going to waste a sawzall blade cutting open the muffler so it was in there for a few year while the muffler started rusting away.

No, it didn't go through the headers, it went straight into the downpipe. This was on my old 68 Camaro with a 94 LT1 and shorty headers. I took the exhaust off the car so the muffler has been sitting outside rusting for the past5-6 years. I put coated longtube headers on the car and a new exhaust.

thats like one of my nice 3/8 drive ratchets i left it on top of the strut tower under the hood or a "premier utility" pontiac vibe. It came back 2-3 months later and it was still in the same spot with my 10mm socket on it.

Less weight of that wrench has got to mean some lower times in the 1/4.

Thats pretty funny,
The muffler was sitting on the ground in the bushes in front of his house, no HP gains to be had

Actually, there was a horsepower gain, I removed the Flowmaster and put on some straight through Aerochamber mufflers.

How are the Aerochamber mufflers performing?

I sold that car at least 5 years ago so I can't say at this point. They had a nice sound to them at idle and were very mellow while cruising along, but got pretty loud at WOT.
