got my exhaust welded up finally. after a crappy experience yesterday.

i go to the local muffler shop on tuesday and set up an "appointment" for mid morning wednesday. i go in at 10. the guy says they are busy and takes my number and name, says he'll call. 1 o clock rolls around and no call so i go up and make sure he can still do it. says it'll be around 3 till he can. no call the rest of the day. so i was like screw theses guys. ill find a new place

drove like 20 miles to a place that was recommended to me by a friend and he does all the work in like 30 min. no problems. he quoted me 100, charged me 75. he was very respectful, very polite, didnt try to sell me **** i didnt want. i wasnt treated like a kid. (im 18) did what i asked and i was on my way. very nice guy, nice welds. will do business with again. Triple A muffler in Garland Texas is great for those of you near here.

now for pics and vids.

Sounds GOOD! I've never been a big fan of straights, but this is NICE brotha.

 

thanks
i appreciate it!
its just the right volume for people to notice it, but not obnoxious loud

 

Stock pipe size?

 

Sounds good!

 

Not bad.

 

im really not sure on the pipe size.. i didnt ask or specify size.
my camera doesnt do it justice..
ill try tomorrow to take some vids with a video camera. hopefully in hd.

 

Just measure it vertically. Looks to be all 2.5".

 

it probably is.

ill crawl under there when it stops raining.

now i need a muffler. lol

HAHA! You're all about these!

 

lol
thanks darren.

ill buy one soon.
its either a bullet or a single chamber muffler of some kind.

how much do these slide over the pipe.. im wondering if i can get by without having it welded up. can these be clamped in??

 

I'm pleased with mine

 

darren, that link you posted says the inlet diameter of the bullets is 2.5 in
if this is the case, it wont slide over the existing pipe.. right??
gonna get some of these if its not gonna slide
