Muffler grease

Hello Everyone
Help!
Need Muffler grease to smooth out the sound of my exhaust.
Checked all the stores; out of stock, sold their last two cans to the politicians running for office, as speachafying lube.
Where can I find some?

In the auto parts store I use, they moved it into an area for "specialty automotive products. It's right next to the blinker fluid and aluminum magnets now.

It's a seasonal item. You'll find it at the store in the same section as tire air. Right now the winter air is on clearance, and as soon as that's sold out the muffler grease will be stocked with the summer air.

Howard Dean made the huge mistake of going to Jiffy Lube to get his muffler greased----and just look what happened to him!






One week after Juffy Lube repacked Howard Dean's muffler (with the WRONG kind of grease) here is what happened:



Don't let this happen to YOU. If you're running for political office, be sure to re-pack your own muffler. I recommend Mobil 1 synthetic muffler grease---keeps 'em running quiet... and NEVER lets out a scream.

Prevent political blowouts: avoid Juffy Lube!

Grease:

Why are you looking for grease? Did you check the muffler bearings?
And the politican don't buy anything they steal it. But last I head they are partial to Bull ****. So better stock up on BS Repelent. Good for politicans and salesmen.
They may put the grease you are looking for next to the Brake Sock that goes with the Brake Shoe's.
Please do a more comple search of the store.

Morgan,

You might be able to get your odometer working by cleaning out the muffler grease on the gears and shafts and replacing it with epoxy.

If you're having problems with your muffler bearings, you'll probably have to replace the transmission soon, better have 2 of them installed just in case.

I feel sorry for you guys that have to go looking for it... and then buy it... I'm sure it does not smell as good as homemade grease... I mix ground up Sassafrass tree root ( after making tea with it ) ... and gopher droppings..... very greasy.... and oh so aromatic when heated up.... cats chase my car as if they were dogs....

New law

New improved muffler grease sold only to honest politicians.
All other politicians use shaft oil or blither blather grease.

If your muffler's too loud, there's a very simple cure -- a more powerful sound system!! A power amp, sub-woofer and some new speakers should cure the problem quite nicely! BTW, we're having a 2 for 1 special on radiator bearings!

Let me know if you still need one, I do have one available that will run on JP-8, which is a diesel substitute. When i get back into US, will let you know the price.

Whunter, would you instead take a set of priceless brand new in the box piston return springs for the ultra rare steam powered Super Sport Trabant for one of your radiator cap jacks?
