I want to know what a shop should charge for that.Just take off muffler,etc,put straight pipe on and aside from whatever tip i might put on.I want it put on as a removable part,not welded.

Speedy auto charged me $90 to lop off the muffler and weld the factory tip back on.

i dont know around there but by me there are a lot of muffler shops. 40 buck to chop it off and weld factory tip back on.

I just took my muffler off for less restriction, got two 18" pieces and and adapter with 3 clamps and it was done in 30 minutes, and cost me 30 bucks.

i got a pipe and a coupler and put the coupler over the price tag on the pipe then used the pipe and returned the cupler and brought my buddy a 6 pack for doing it so parts were free and $10 labor

Yes i know it's held to the hangers by copper wire but the universal exhaust hanger i got was a piece of **** and the wire would hold it better.

hahaha hey what ever works. no one will see it anyways.
looks great for 30 bucks

yeah that's what i said no one will see it so screw it. Plus it works better than the hanger. loud as hell but funny in a way because i can barley hear the blower until 6,000 rpms

FAIL. And I'm not talking about the coat hanger wire. You put your pipe on against the flow of the exhaust. Your coupler should have been bigger at the front and smaller at the back. And your tip would then be bigger than the coupler exit.

Meh, it's about average I think for a quality job, as opposed to a hack job that you'd do yourself. There was a thread just like this where people were being charged over $100.

what you talking about? That's how the pipe connects 2.5 in the front and it comes out to 2 and 5/8's to connect another piece

If the exhaust pipe is 2.5 Then your coupler should have been 2 5/8 at the first end, and then go back to 2.5 ALL the way down. Then your tip should have been 2 5/8 at the connecting end, and however big you want it, at the exit. It's not a monumental FAIL, just a slight oversight. Trust me I know this because I had no choice but to do the exact thing to my gf's honda when her resonator fell off. Now when she revs the engine you can hear a very faint psssst noise, almost like a tiny turbo spooling up, because the air is hitting that exhaust piece before it continues to flow. Autozone never keep their shelves stocked around here.

haha ok yeah i know exactly what your talking about now I hear that same noise. Well my actual exhaust is 2.25 so i got a 2.25 to 2.5 adapter. so your saying i should have got 2.5 to 2.5? or try to find a 2.25 to 2 5/8 adapter and turn the pipe around?

Like this PS I suck at Microsoft Paint.

Just realized you have a 2.25 inch exhaust....sorry so yeah you need to use 4 inch tip (or whatever size you choose), 2 3/8 inch tip entry, 2.25 inch pipe, 2 3/8 inch pipe entry, and then your 2.25 inch exhaust.

haha ok but my normal exhaust ending at the axle is 2.25 so which size adapter should i get to have the rest all 2.5 inch?

steven6870

iTrader: (1)

I just edited, right after you posted, lol. 2 3/8 should work, but you may have to use 2.5 inch.

And BTW guys and gals, if this is done right, it makes more sense than a muffler shop simply because if your exhaust is TOOOO loud for some police standards, you can easily connect your muffler back and not have to worry about paying for the shop to do it. I will probably do exhaust shop myself because I like it clean, but I considered this as well at one time. Its kind of like a "shadetree" mechanic muffler mod, like HAHN has for the MODPIPE downpipe.
