Default DIY muffler delete, aint happenin

Got my muffler delete pipe today, thought I would try to put it in. After I got past all the exhaust hangers the clamps were on so tight
it crimped the pipe together.
Wifes takinto the shop tomm while I am at work, thay said they do it for 40 bucks.

I think I paid $50.00 to have my muffler cut off & a new piece welded in it's place.

when i got my turbo-back straight pipes in i thought it would be a simple install in my garage, was i ever wrong! i tried to get each peice off one by one. no one ever told me i could saw-zaw everything... but i did the same thing you did, i brought it to a muffler guy and he put my whole system on except for the down pipe (i kept that stock) for 160... sometimes you gotta pay out! good luck with that and let us know how it sounds....

Well got the muffler delete in today, total cost for the delete pipe and install 90 bucks.
It sounds awesome, And has alot more pickup on the low end too.
Im glad I went this route instead of puttin out 4-500 for a whole system.
So Im happy for now, time for the next mod?

mine took my 10 minutes to pop off and pop it back on ...i had an exhaust cutter on my air hammer. took a little snippet out of each sid eof the muffler. pulled the over axle pipe and tail pipe off then pulled the 9000 pound muffler off. slapped it all back in clapped it and put 2 tack welds on each side for safe keeping. honeslty couldent have taken longer then 30 minutes.
