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?

						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.
Its Travelin2's old flowmaster. Remember, you(pretty sure it was you) suggested he go with a dynamax(sp?). I then traded my airbox for the old flowmaster. The length is pretty close to the original 1 bedroom condo thats under there now.
I just want to gather all the items I will need so I dont have to make extra trips to the local Kragen.
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...

Dang - I had that same exhaust on an ol' Dodge P'up.
It was modular in design so that whatever piece was leaking this week could easily be replaced.
