Just noticed that mine is not welded on and i can put a new one easily and would like suggestions. Im looking for ones under 50.00 since i saw 20.00 ones on autozone lol. Forgot to says its the 2000 model 3.9 2wd club cab

 

I dont know how it would go on but I have a 40 series flowmaster and LOVE the sound( I have the sam e type of truck u do)

 

Would be nice but really have to stretch cash and get more mpg for less lol. Think im gonna try the turbo 2 muffler from nappa for 20.00

 

I'm not sure if its the stock muffler from the factory that you have on, but if it is. You have to watch. It has a clamp and its not welded, but you're probably not going to get it off without cutting it anyway. I thought the same thing when I wanted to take off my stock and put on a 50 series. They have it clamped so hard it crimps the metal and makes it impossible to get off without cutting. I've since then got a custom exhaust done with a 40 series and duals. I have the 4.7 V8 though. I love it. I've heard them on V6s before and they do sound good.

 

Well i think its factory due to severe rust lol. Once i get wd40 i will try to take it off just to see lol.

 

It's clamped, and crimped. You're not going to get it off w/out cutting. My buddy and I realized this after about an hour of banging, we cut it off and then we wanted to figure out what the deal was so we cut the clamp area in half and it was crimped to hell.

 

Haha. I figured I wasn't the only one that this happened too.

 

same deal couldn't get it off had to cut it. good luck though

 

havnt tried to take it off yet, well now I know what to xpect.

heres the muffler i plan to get



Its a flowmaster, and both tips are going to be on one side. I figure y do what everyone else is doing ( straight out the back, or 1 tip on either side behind the rear tire) hopefully 90 bucks will get me that nice rumble I want!

 

i hear ya everyone has the duals out the back, i have a crap muffler right now but im puting a better exhaust all together, but im still keeping it dumped. It gives it a cool sound when its bouncing off the pavement.
