Muffler Delete

I saw a pic somewhere on here where someone did the muffler delete and can't find it. Anyone might have a good pic.

I took my muffler off and love the sound. I would advise you to get a lenght of pipe (mine is 4") that'll replace your muffler and swap them out to see if you like the sound. Some folks report that while towing, a straight pipe can be a little too much (the droning sound) but I like it! Give it a shot.

The only thing on my exhaust the downpipe comes in at the bottom of the exhaust and the talipipe runs out the top of the muffler. I would have to somehow put and s shape bend in it. Though one around here can bend a 3 1/2" pipe.

Rotate the front piece of pipe 180 degrees.The pipes will line up better.

Yep, you can rotate the pipe up front by grinding off the alignment dowel or notching the pipe, have a look and you will see. Or you can simply weld in a pipe at an angle like I have seen.

This might be the pic you're looking for:
http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2134...86590301iSCvgI

As Green_Dually said, the s-pipe is rotated 180*.... puts the pipe right about inline with the tail pipe, so a straight piece of pipe w/ flared ends slips right in and can be welded up. If you have a welder or clamps and such, you can do it yourself. I didn't back when I wanted it done, so I took mine to a shop for about 25 mins and $60.
