So...a few days ago I was on the highway. I was trying to pass someone out and hit the pedal pretty hard...next thing I know the rumbling from the muffler just got a different tone to it. I was like "okay...I know what the truck sounds like if the muffler fell off, so I know it's still there..." plus I was sure that the original sound was still there but it just had a whooshing rumble on top of that. So I get off the highway and stop at a walgreen's and found out that I basically shot out the outlet welds. Well...lasted a good 4 years...RIP 40 Series...Hello Super 44! Also you'll notice I ditched the dual exhaust and went single 2.5" as well as the long ends of the tail pipes. I gave up on maintaining the tips as Chicago area will always remain a pain in the *** when it comes to rust.

Right now the muffler is still in the break-in process so it's not really loud right now, but it does sound good nonetheless. Pics!

Cool man! Its gunna rumble! =P

 

dang that old muffler got blown out, but the middle looks fine. if the new one isn't coated you might want to pick up some ceramic spray paint. i used vht "flameproof" last winter and my welds are still pretty clean.

 

Yea I guess the stainless steel part excluded the weldings. I should look into that paint.
