Leland Pate Modified Muffler
Adding a bypass pipe (mine was 2" diameter) post cat that allows some engine noise and exhaust gases to flow straight from the cat to the exhaust tip, bypassing the muffler itself. Cheap and easy muffler modification that sounds as good as mufflers costing $1000.

Two feet of 2" 316 stainless = $28
Two mufflers welded = $60
By far the best $88 I ever spent!
Leland, I've got to hand it to you, you've made my month.

Just got back from a drive (beauty of a day here in NorCal) and still have that lovely sound in my head.

How would it be to weld a non-stainless metal pipe on to our mufflers? Would longevity be a major hindrance in regards to the weld or the non-stainless pipe itself?
The AutoZone auto parts store locally sells a 2 inch 90 degree bent pipe that would transverse the pipes on our muffler perfectly; hopefully increasing the amount of airflow past the muffler.

Getting them back in is not too bad but take care that you have a good even joint between the CAT and the muffler. I usually make sure the clamps are pulled back, I put the muffler in and hang it, and then wiggle/position the muffler until the joint is perfect. I then loosely attach the muffler strap (not tight...you might need to move the muffler around). I then slide the clamp centered onto the joint, wiggle the muffler until it perfect and then bolt the clamp up. I then check the muffler is still on its hanger and tighten the muffler strap up. Once that is all nice and solid you can put the tip on..same procedure. I often will not do the final tighten until both tips are on and I can look at the car from the top and rear to make sure the tips are centered, level and correct. Then tighten up the clamp for the tips and you are done.
I have heard cars with 1" and 2" pipes...its like the old story. I found 1" just toooo quiet, 2" just tooooo loud but finally did mine with 1 1/2 pipe...just right!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Tks..clamps are already off..the muffler is just hanging on the hook I guess...was to late to fuss with it. After unhooking everything I was wondering why the unk it wouldn't fall..of course after a lil research here I found out there's a hook..
It's neat to know that we have something in common, as my (PO jdoc) car served as your organ donor
