They're not just yet but i like to point little things out now and deal with them later when im not on a tight budget. How much of a pain are they to replace?

id buy some walker mufflers, and take them to an exhaust shop, because the stock ones are welded on already.

Straight pipe replacement and I'd be more worried about that rust.

You must not like to hear your self think.

Looks like typical MI surface rust.

Why the hell would they weld em knowin they would eventually might need some replacing?

robots, and its so much easier to have the whole cat back as one big piece for the assembly line.

Southern state cars wont rust out the mufflers.

A local mom and pop muffler shop wont charge alot to have some new ones welded up.

Hows come the Southern state cars wont rust out?

I should say, ALOT less likey to rust out. Can it happen... sure, but not like the cars up here.

They dont have salt or snow (winter).

Oh yeah duh...some cities around here use dirt instead of salt for the roads

the easy way to work on your exhaust is to remove it. break the 2 bolts that hold the cat to the cat back, yes they will snap off or need to be cut off, as they rust like mad. and you will need a new res to cat gasket, break that free, then remove all the rubber hangers.



my res was rotted out, so took the clamp off, and cut 3 lines into the res inlet tube with a cut off wheel. and pried the tube back and beat it off the pipe.



picked up a glass pack and had a flange welded on to it.





then slapped it all back in the car.
