The Magnaflow I went with sounds great at start up, idle, and part throttle....at W.O.T. it gets the "coffee can" tone as well, but all low restriction mufflers are gonna do that I think.

I am running a 2.5" system done at a local muffler shop. The muffler used is the Hooker Aerochamber. It has a thick case to cut down on interior noise and a nice tone. I have yet to hear a raspy note come out of this muffler.

Stock system save the PV1 muffler. I had a PV2 on my previous VX and found that one to be alot more tinny (if you will).

Ok, so since I consider myself a moron when it comes to exaust I figured this thread could be used. Especially since it's been a year since anyone used it. No sense it starting a new one.
I got the muffler from Travelin2 and have yet to put it on. I figure I can swing about twenty bucks for clamps and adapters, since I am broke. Here is what I want to know.
Is the stock size 2 1/4?
What all do I need to install it myself? I looked under there and it seems I should just need to unbolt the pipe and hangers, R&R the muffler.
I think that clamping it will be just fine, am I wrong?

shouldnt exhausts be welded??

Welding them is a fairly new concept (read wirefeed welding). Use to be years ago them were always clamped

If the new muffler (what is it, btw??) is a different length as the old one, the install will be more challenging.
I do not recall the size of the stock piping. I want to say 2" but I do not know that for sure. It is either 2" or 2.25", though.

Yep, I remember the same "good ol' days"...there weren't none of them there dern new fangled wire weldin' machines...we held our exhaust systems together with CLAMPS, dang it...and BEER CANS...and BAILING WIRE if needed...
Why we call em' the "good ol' days" is still beyond my comprehension...
