Last year I posted asking about clocksprings which I know are discontinued.
What other parts that commonly need replacing are basically no longer available new?
Also, it's my impression that much of the increased HP in the 2002-2004 is due to a variable muffler. Can those mufflers still be purchased?

If the 'variable muffler' was factory installed then you'll find it 'discontinued'. Take the OEM part number and google search, this is one of the results.

Interesting, for some reason I had this idea that the variable-ness of the muffler would be some electronic gizmo but of course it is probably just a flap inside the muffler that swings open when the pressure increases from open throttle.
I was curious because it seems almost all of the increased power from the 2002+ models is from the special muffler so if they were no longer available there would no longer be any power advantage from 2002+ once the muffler needs replacing.
