I am ordering my tips today , 4.5inch . What size is the stock pipe going into the muffler is it 2.25? I plan on doing the muffler delete at home with my brothers welding skills. Also does anyone know if a muffler delete can be done with just straight piping or do i need it to be bent a little?
I definitely had to deal with some bending to get the tip centered. I came into it thinking just a couple straight pipes, clamps, and pipe mating joints were all I needed. Then I cut my mufflers off and realized the angles were all over the place. Our mufflers aren't center-in, so it takes some work. We ended up doing it the right way and welded the pipes on, in two sections instead of just one, and then took a torch and heated up the main bend and pulled the whole straight pipe into place the extra inch that was needed to center my tips. Hangers will end up being another challenge you'll face. Be prepared for the worst lol. I luckily was working with an experienced old-school mechanic (my buddy's Dad), so he figured things out relatively easily after studying the whole thing for a bit and making changes on the fly. I can honestly say I wouldn't have got the job done without a welder, a torch, and his knowledge.
