And to be honest, I never payed any attention to the flange, but now that you guys brought it up, it does look pretty tight!! :thumb:

- Fri Jul 13, 2007 8:31 pm #14193 Okay, its totally simple.

First I had a coupler used to connect PVC piping together. Home depot sells these, but luckily I had one here at my job since we do alot of work with PVC.

Here's the part information...

Image

Next I took the insides out, and removed the hose clamps, here's whats left...

Image

Notice how it makes a nice curve, almost like it was made for the exhaust.

Image

Then I just attached it to my Tanabe muffler using a big hose clamp. What this did was extend the exhaust just far enough past my bumper so that the carbon just flies out and never gets a chance to build up.

Image

Sorry for the huge pics, I'm unable to edit here at work. :thumb:
