just go to your local big truck shop and ask for a 4 ft piece of 3.5 ID..go to the local muffler shop and tell the to cut the hangers and put new ones on ar weld the cut ones to get it to fit...sounds great just did mine this week...only thing is I saw my mileage go DOWN!!!!!!!! that sucks!

that is PROBABLY because you knew you were doing a modification that would add a sound that you particularly liked. therefore, you sub-conciously used more pedal than you have before. in real life driving, a straight pipe reduces back pressure, which will increase mileage and give marginal HP/tq. gains.

no, that will not work! the wall thickness of the pipe is not 1/4'', therefore the OD of the pipe will not be 4''. it is closer to 3.6''. best to get a regular 3.5'' pipe and get a muffler shop to flare one end for you. or both if you arent sliding it into a already-flared end.

i thought this would be simple too but every local muffler shop around here says 3.5 is an odd size and we can put a piece of 3 in there for $50
or our benders don't flare that big
what ever the excuse i'm getting agravated at the LOCAL muffler shops
