Here'* what I had to do. You can see on the stock pipe, I added a small piece, adjusted it to the proper position and clamped it down. Then I put the muffler onto that, and fixed the crooked muffler problem. I thought for sure I was gonna have to deal with a crooked *** muffler.

Why not just go to a muffler shop and have em weld it all in there for yah? I always like the idea of welding vs clamps. But then again, my 89 has a clamped cat and its never given me an issue.

MEH... as I said, it'* not going to be driven very often in the winter, if at all, plus the clamps and all joints will have the super secret 1200* rustproofing paint I bought @ $9.99 a can on it.

Looks pretty darn good. Clamps tend to rust slower than a weld.

The SC came out of the box Saturday about 5pm. it was rebuilt and ready for me to rebox and ship by 5:45pm. You should have it back by the end of the week.

because not everyone has cheap good shops around that will charge very little to do it lol..

I cost me $100 to get my CAT and a straight pipe welded in on my SE


It does look very good William. Good job. i wish i could have got my DynoMax to fit like that :(

i love my dynomax superturbo and also had problems with instalation as i suck at fabricating anything (its still not perfect), but it sounds awsome and just gets better the longer it breaks in

Actually, it'* Rust Oleum 1200* BBQ Black, and is a rust preventative/encapsules rust you spray it over.
