Replacing primary muffler with bypass...muffler straps?
Do I reuse the 2 original muffler straps? Since muffler diameter is much larger than the bypass pipe, they seem way to long...
'89 C4... Thanks. |

Bypass pipe should come with its own specific straps.

Bought used from Rennlister, straps weren't included..seems guys are using heavy duty hose clamps...
Thanks. |
I re-used my originals by drilling / bolting it together at a smaller diameter.

I took original Porsche muffler straps, cut them and welded them shorter to fit.

Thanks

I bought a stock car except for a primary muffler bypass. I knew it would be a little louder than stock, but I found it much too loud. I lived with it for a few years but just put a primary muffler back on. I love it. I think stock sounds so much better. Of course that’s totally subjective. |

One thing to think about before you cut up OE parts is the cost to replace them. OE muffler straps are $$$ |

I like keeping the option open to go back to stock as I has factory cat bypass for power and some extra noise.

Definitely a very important consideration. I think if I had to re-install a primary that the drill solution would be reversible (barring small holes in the straps). But I don’t foresee doing it. The stock exhaust was a little muted for my younger blood. I wanna hear my flat 6 not my cooling fan... |
I just used large hose clamps on mine and its worked great for 4 years now.
