anyway, what can i do to put this on? it appears there is no hooks on it, and i want to use my stock piping cause i dont wanna go thru the hastle of getting all this extra shit, i just wanna put this on and be done with. its got a silencer on it so theres no loud waaaaaaaaaah bs, which i cant stand, lol but im sure if i felt like it i could take it off.

now i know i have to remove the old muffler and i see where it hooks up, do i have to cut off the end of the muffler where it connects to the piping and weld it onto this?

the inlet part is 2.5

am i screwed and having to go buy more shit?

oh yea, i want this to point at an angle towards the side of the car also

Otherwise, just hack off the old muffler and have this one welded up, they'll also weld hangers onto the new muffler to hold it in place.

if so thanks mike, i dont think the angle thing will be to big of a problem, i know some good welders.

but yea that pipe on my original exahust is also 2.5? it didnt look like it yo

but im gonna go with your assessment, ima just rip that shit off tommorow

i can just unscrew the old exahust and hack it off and then replace it with the new on


mike to the rescue again, btw, i was told this is the n1 style muffler? i dont know what brand, my buddy didnt tell me, but im assuming this is the best style no?

Wont increase airflow or what not so...just a heads up, not sure what your intentions are in the first place :)
