    My 78WR250 pipe will require a bit of work and before I go too far down that rabbit hole I wanted to poke around for options.

    From what I can tell, the 78WR 250 muffler was a one year deal, and the ones on ebay are crap. Are there other years that would swap over? Are there any other new pipe options?

    Any ML frame pipe (75-78) will swap directly and 79-81 can be made to fit with some modifications.

    Well that opens up the field considerably, thanks. By modifications, I assume you mean moving brackets, not bending the pipe?

    I think I have a couple 78 pipes hanging in the garage if you are interested.

    More like cutting cones, shifting angles, and welding. I tried to use a 79 390 pipe on the 1978 390WR I am building. It did not work with the ML frame but worked nicely putting the 390 engine into a 1982 WR frame. I ended up getting a 77/78 pipe on eBay that works on the ML frame
