today leaving work I heard a clanking sound so i pulled over and this is what I saw




gotta go after class and get it put back on

 

why yes... yes you do..

 

lord the guy who put it on is going to get an ear full

 

i dont see a hangar bar on that muffler (but im lookin at it on my little phone). what is supporting the weight of that unusual dual outlet muffler??

if there's enough flange on that muffler, you can buy a 45 degree adapter pipe and 2 exhaust clamps and fix that break for like $10 with a socket wrench. but you really want to support that muffler with something, even a universal hangar anywhere to the body will work.

unless a shop owes ya for a recent install they did. make sure the muff is supported, not just the pipe in front of it. good luck

 

nothing was supporting it but a weld to the truck I'm taking it back to him and he will fix it

 

Ghetto fabulous...Got to love it.

 

well found out he's closed on Mondays so have to go tomorrow

 

Looks to me like the muffler just pulled off the pipe .

Like maybe the clamp was never put on or was not tightened .

Both pieces look to clean to have rusted off.

Better to have to many hangers then not enough .

Lack of hangers can put pressure on the manifold causing to to break what a pain to replace.

Good luck

 

I go tomorrow I'm gunna get the converter taken off and just run straight pipe to the muffler and I m gunna make sure it's not coming off

 

I'm running w/o a muffler, just a Cat. Sounds decent, mufflers are for wimps

 

I don't see the point of a dual outlet muffler if you're just going to have turn downs right at the outlets

Wait, you need hangers for your exhaust?

Yes, but a muffler adds tone. A good muffler will take away all the rasp. I prefer the opposite of what you prefer. I love my Magnaflow muffler/no-cat combo. It's true perfection. But I don't want to start another "muffler/cat vs. no muffler/cat" debate...

 

I don't know much about my truck I'm learning as I go, when I went there I asked him what would sound good and he told me some options I picked what I thought was best when he put it on it sounded good so I was satisfied. I'm a girl and the guy screwed me over because he knew I wouldn't know the difference.

 

F**ck it, dude! Run straight pipes!

 

And what would an exhaust thread be like without this guy^^^.

 

Lmao I couldn't help myself!

 

I'm only running the no muffler/ with a cat because my exhaust rusted off right behind the cat cheaper to leave it that way than fix it

 

Straight pipe? Why even have a straight pipe? Just take all the exhaust off, including the manifolds and have it exit right out of the head

You should have come here first! We would have been delighted to suggest what muffler to use Out of curiosity, was it a like a friend who did the work or an actual auto shop? I hate it when auto shops think women are stupid and try to sell them upscale/unnecessary parts.

 

it just a muffler shop he doesn't do anything else, I got told today that taking the converter off is illegal? I went to him and he said he will put the muffler back on for free, I go at 3. it broke off the pipe, what do you suggest I do?

 

this is it up close

 

Does Arizona do smog checks/ vehicle inspections? If not then it doesn't matter if taking the cat off is illegal. We don't have either in Florida, but it is illegal to go without a cat or a muffler, most people don't pay attention to that law because its not enforced.

Definitely add some hangers to your exhaust whatever you do.
