Thread: Resonator piping question?

the glass pack cost 25, ( i got a 32 inch, thrush) it cost 10 more for a flange, (this flange can only be found at a muffler shop) and 15 more to have it welded on, that makes it cost 50 now.

the Y pipe is 120 ish, you will need 3 new clamps, 2 new nuts and bolts for the cat to res flange, and a new gasket another 8 bucks, so call it under 200.


so being you have 2 new mufflers sitting there, a whole new cat back will run less then 200. and later on you can change the mufflers yourself if you find you dont like them. just dont clamp the crap out of them and they will come off later on nice and easy.

Either way anything other than just getting a new pipe and putting the muffler in will have to wait at least 13 days(plus 5+ for any shipping)

when a shop welds your mufflers on, they need the car or it wont look right at all.

id wait the 2 weeks and do it right. shop the net for the cheapest Y pipe you can find with free shipping.

all you need to bring anywhere is the glass pack to have the flange welded on. its 28 to 32 inches long, it will fit in the car or truck no problem.

you will want to measure your stock res, flange to outlet tube end, get a glass pack as close as possible in inches.

the 32" i got, with the outlet tube cut off one side and flange welded on now measures 31" inches, i needed 30", so a inch longer was ok.

so your clear, welding on a flange will remove 2 to 2 1/4 inches off the glass pack length. you need to a bit of math on this one. try not to be off more then a inch in either direction. the rubber hangers will allow this much of a change.
