Mufflers for morons

[rowhard]

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.

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.

Measure the pipe diameter, measure the mufflers inlet/outlet diameter, then figure out if you need any reducers etc.

They sell cheap plastic caliper measuring type devices at Harbor Freight...

I know how to do that much, I am just being lazy about it, figure if someone knew the sizes I could just swing by after work and get the stuff.

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.
