I want to replace my muffler with a performance grade part. It is all rusted back there and the crome tips are falling off because the bolt rusted. I'm new to the whole car part replacing world and think the muffler would be a good place to start. I dont think I need to replace the catalytic converter and before, just the back muffler. How would I go about this? I also dont want a showy loud muffler, I want a quite but performance sound, where would I go to get one of these and make sure it fit? thanks guys.

It requires tools and supplies sometimes not even found in most repair shops. Chances are you will need both a welder and a torch and possible even a pipe e bender. You will also find that most of these exhaust shops work pretty cheap. That's the way I would go with it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Does cat-back mean catolytic converter back? I assume, so does that mean I just bolt to the catalytic convertor and no welding? Thanks guys.

That doesn't always make it true. They don't know what the condition of your system is or what welding has already been done to it. There isn't much you can do with exhaust that doesn't require at least a torch. Old pipes don't just slide off, especially if they have been clamped and crimped. Sometimes you have to make sections of pipe to replace damaged or welded parts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
