Direct muffler replacement

[Julio13]

I folllowed the instructions and my blade started at 1" but exit at 1/2" lol. I am bad with the reciprocating saw. I didn't want to use the grinder and those were my only two cutting tools that i could use for the job.
There is also a video in american trucks were they cut right after the weld. So i think either is probably fine

Thank you yes those are the ones I’ve seen

Well finally bought mbrp installed it yesterday but definitely leaks at the clamp at muffler shop today to get it welded on and don’t know why my passenger side tip sticks out a little more than drivers see if they could fix that also

That’s what I did. $40 muffler and had a shop weld it on

How much did it cost to weld, it couldn't be that much i imagine. The tips on mine turn out even but it's something that has been posted on the forum before on after market exhaust, even borla's. Some jb weld might had done the trick to seal

Go back and have the resonator's removed and even the length of the tips.

Can 100% confirm this!!! AND, my wife would 100% agree...you'd both be happy with the G/T exhaust!

What is the part number for this?

I 100% agree with this advise lol.
And post a sound clip afterwards
I was only able to find a single video of the mbrp with resonator delete and would like to hear some more

Yes I always try taking the cheap way out and it barely works out so I said forget it let me do it right this time it was 75 dollars no leak but tips are still not even not too happy about that

My shop was around $100 I think. We discussed this in another thread and some folks were saying $350. That’s way too much imo

 

[Julio13]

No they were all perfect with stock muffler I guess new muffler changes position a bit since it’s smaller

My shop charged $75 to weld on the Carven TR and I got the muffler for $82. So I'm out $157 so I'd say not a bad deal.

yea I remember that post and agree that is way too much even for my area which is not the cheapest either after hearing what other have paid

how is the drone with the TR, not many videos out there on it - @cmejatt was asking last week, he is undecided between the fab 2 moderate, carven tr and flowmaster flow fx
and do you still have the resonators on
