What is the quickest and cheapest way to install an aftermarket muffler. Is there a cheap bolt one that I can get welded cheap???

Jegs whips same day on most orders before 2pm.
Take it to any local shop and it can be welded in place for around $50

use muffler clamps

WHAT. man your shit will fall off. just weld the shits. its better. u might have leaks with the clamp man. just weld it. prolly cost u like 10 bucks. thats it.

with my muffler, it wouldnt weld cuz it was chrome, and i never had a leak with clamps, just get them the same size as your pipe

[Rendon LX-i]

Okay go with clamps. see how it looks and last. its up to u

The clamps on my exhaust system have lasted for nearly 2 years with no failures at all... and if it's on the muffler, You shouldn't be seeing the clamps on the front of the muffler unless it gets ripped off

[ace12210]

Well what size muffler will I need to clamp into the stock pipe?

[Cyric_accord]

Well, Stock exhaust piping is 1 3/4, but you can get an adaptor at most auto part stores that can go up to 2 1/2.... I have the stock pipes going to a 2 1/4 muffler inlet

Well thats sounds good. I really don't have the time or the money to get new piping but I do want a new muffler. The adapter and weld idea seems the best route for now. Thanks for the replies.

I agree w/ the welding but,if u do it right your muffler will NOT fall off or have leaks.
(1)get the adapters u need I paid about 1.50$ for each one and I needed 3
(2)Get some muffler repair stuff(I used the kind in a tube its easier to work with)About $3
(3)Apply the muffler repair to the adapter and fit it where it needs to go.If u need more than 1 adapter do this at every joint
(4)I used FLEX TUBING I got at pep boys for about $5 to go from the last adapter to the muffler.This will give u the ability to move your muffler around and place it where it needs to go
(5)Finally u need an exhaust mounting bracket which I also got at pep boys for about $3 and use it to keep yuor exhaust supported
This whole job took me about 1 1/2 hrs but I kept going back and forth to the store.U will have to let your car sit overnight.It is easy and cheap but like rendon lxi said...If u can get it welded,get it welded.
