Default Replacing the muffler in a magnaflow system

hey all-- quick question here. Maybe i'm looking the in the wrong place here but i've got the magnaflow catback system on my T/A- the one pictured here:

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...ne=all&id=6916

really love it with my header/ORY choice. However, i've noticed a few rattles out of it as of late. Found a loose clamp on it, replaced it, and there was still a rattle--- i looked further and found that if i slap/gently bump the muffler itself, the rattle seems to be coming from inside of the muffler. Upon further inspection, i can see a big crack forming on the outside welds of the muffler.

So, obviously the muffler is on its last legs and needs replaced if the internals are starting to seperate.

i've been looking on magnaflow's site, cannot seem to find just that muffler only. I see "replacement muffler" for f-bodies, but that is the one meant to replace the oem catback.

any help would be appreciated. As i said, LOVE the catback, just don't want to spend another 500+ on a full catback when i have it already, is in good shape, and only need the muffler itself replaced.

I thought that Magnaflow catback systems had a lifetime warranty?

If it doesn't have a life time warranty measure it and go to there universal muffler section and see what you can find in the same size.

yeah... they do have a lifetime warranty... however i was not the original purchaser of the muffler. The guy i bought the car off of had the magnaflow before i even got the car. Didn't leave me with any warranty paperwork (that i know of)
