Michael Yount said:Guys - give him a break. The 3000 GT's have a diverter valve in the exhaust that allows it to bypass the muffler allowing (theoretically) for more power and (actually) louder exhaust note. What he's saying is that the bearings or bushings that allow that diverter valve to pivot are failing due to heat. It's as close to an actual 'muffler bearing' as you can get.
And I have no idea what to replace it with -- glad you found a part. Personally, I'd do away with that feature altogether and run a custom, free-flowing exhaust system.

My freind has a 3000GT. Its not as fast as mine, but he races it, has fun with it, and likes it. You guys(most) all sit here and make fun of the same stupid **** every time "honda" comes up. Are there ricer's out there? YES. Is everyone that owns an import a ricer? NO. I got an SHO, does that make me a ricer?
Why a 60 degree V8? That makes for a narrow, tall engine with an uneven firing order since 360/8 = 45, not 60. To get an even firing order you need a even multiple of 45. I would like to know, since it obiviously works well.Michael Yount said:That's the thing about 'rice' - it's just a label applied pretty arbitrarily -- mainly by folks who are insecure about their own rides at some level.
Let's see -- SHO -- engine by Yamaha, so according to the standard set by the early poster (by his standard my Volvo is 'rice' - go figure), with an 'imported' engine - you're at least part rice.And there's a connection -- Volvo recently came out with their first V8 ever. 4.2L DOHC 60 degree V8 - 311HP; it's designed/built by Yamaha and is a derivation of the 3.4L 60-degree V8 that came in the 2nd gen SHO's. Since Ford owns Volvo cars -- they provided the connection to Yamaha. I guess that's Swedish 'rice' or something.
