It looks like your exhaust deflector is pointing the wrong direction?

Good eye, hadn’t noticed that through my drool until I looked for it.

That is how they came I believe from the factory

Small deflector deflects back into a larger deflector that is welded on the muffler, seems strange but that's how they came, most do reverse it around.

If they had the early muffler, which I don't believe had the bolt-on deflector. I can't tell if Frank's is the early muffler. Maybe it was re-habbed at some point?

I reversed my small one for better flow, but it came deflecting into the larger one

This is how it came

That's how the early 625/630/670 jonsereds were

Not saying I am right, just what I have seen, my mint 288 has it like that

You're right Dustin, Josh's original 288/1 muffler is like that too.

Mine was far from mint but was that way as well
