The water lift type mufflers are a big improvement over the original. 
Mine is constructed of fiberglass or some kind of plastic-in place for 
well over 20 years, I haven't ever wiggled back there to take a good 
look at it-and the biggest improvement is it opens up the lazarrette for 
all kinds of stuff-we keep our garbage bags in there among other 
flotsam, because there is no longer a heat issue

P.S. I have had to change the mixing elbow on my Yanmar diesel twice now 
(it bolts to the manifold). Nev-R-Seize _everything_ when you put stuff 
back together. I even smear the stuff inside hoses before clamping 
(double) them.
