Does anyone have any good pics of a your universal muffler after it was installed?
Im cursious as to what all the muffler shop would do so I can see if this is something I can do myself or not. Forantely I have access to a welder and all...
Thanks

hey.....i have mines...but no picture up there yet. they put mines on where its kinda pointing down @ the ground....what you can they use the stock muffler bushings and just weild the arms to the new muffler...have em bend the pipe have the muffler come out the way you want.....once they put it on...they will bitch about moving it...so make sure it right the first time

thanks..Yeah..I want to see if they use the stock pipe and just cut the stock muffler off and weld the uni on and weld the arms to hold it. I've also seens where they use a metal strap to hold the uni muffler on instead of welding the arms on. If it holds it good I'd also prefer using a strap idea. (if they arent good welders they can damage the muffler attaching the arms)

my piping was replaced and they made a hangar and welded it to the top of the muffler. my old muffler came with one of those metal straps

hey man, if u get an AM muffler, most shops ask what size piping u want and usually recommend the ideal size for ur engine. they should weld on arms to hold the muffler in place.
