I installed an Ansa center muffler when the OEM gave out after about 8 years. The Ansa also lasted about 8 years. Just installed the 3rd, also an Ansa, last year. The rear muffler doesn't warm up near as quickly, thus I am on my 6th Midas muffler - they go about 2-3 years back there, but the price is certainly good......free for the last 5.
