Now we take a look and see just how we are going to make it fit. We had to keep at least a 1 inch separation between the muffler and the propller shaft. From my experience the sway is only about 1/4 inch under normal driving and about 1/2 inch under potholes and other road hazards.
Now we are left with this on the back of my cat. Now you can see that flex pipe in front of it. At some point in the future, that is going to go. I still got a hiss when I accelerate with his, but the restriction bothers me (especially if I go to sea level) and I may use a two in, one out cat there, with a very small flex pipe on each tube into the new cat. But that is a future project.
Now, I wanted to show you some picture of the actual store these guys have. A small two sided hamlet in the wall where they have mufflers, glasspacks, tubing, tips, etc.
Now we are going to weld the front of the muffler into place. We are not going to worry for the moment about the O2 sensor, instead it will just look like for the moment a straight pipe between the cat and the new muffler.
