Hey Guys, is it hard to cut the welds that attach the muffler to the tailpipe? Right now I have a single in/dual out flow 40. I looked under the truck and it seems as if I paid for a pretty bad welding job. They already look rusty. Anyways, I was going to try and chop the tailpipes off right after the muffler just by cutting the weld. What do I need to do this?

 

Sawz-all, torch, hack saw, pipe cutter?? Sure the welds will rust if it's just plain welding rod or wire.

 

ive done this plenty of times, i just use my air powered cut-off wheel...but if your gonna use a hacksaw make sure to eat your wheaties because it takes alot of elbow grease

 

alrighty, hopefully this won't be that hard of a job...I'm guessing half an hour to a full hour. Hopefully all goes smoothly

 

if your not replacing the pipe make sure that the rest of the exhaust is supported well.

 

I got under the truck last night to check that very thing. The muffler is supported by one hanger. There is a bracket for another hanger, the hanger would just need to be welded onto the muffler. Would one bracket be enough to support it?

 

should be fine

 

lol, i agree on that hacksaw/wheaties comment.....sooo many times have i used hacksaws :0

 

Same here. I cant bring myself to use a hacksaw, WAY too much work.

 

Awesome, thanks for the responses guys.

 

Use a chain roller cutter. Make sure your square and all cutters are in the same track. Plan "B" is your handy Sawzall with a fresh blade in fine tooth with good safety glasses.
