Is this some kind of be-metallic effect? I want a new one now (autozone $32.99), so when I install it should I put a fiber glass pad up there to protect that spot? Except for that hole and the front pipe snapped off the thing should have been good for a few years yet.
If the front pipe has snapped off, that indicates that the *interior* of
the muffle is stuffed. You're doing the right thing by putting a new one on.
