How to Install a Universal Muffler

The easiest way to change the sound of your exhaust is to change out the muffler. Generally, this is done at an exhaust shop. But if you have a welder and some time, you can do it yourself using the following instructions.

Instructions

    1

    Cut the old muffler off using the reciprocating saw. The muffler will also be supported by an exhaust hanger, so that will need to be pulled out of the rubber hanger as well.

    2

    Place the new muffler up where the old muffler was located. You want to see where youll need to weld on the new exhaust hanger and then mark that on the muffler with a permanent marker.

    3

    Weld the muffler to the stock exhaust using the MIG welder.

    4

    Weld the universal exhaust hanger onto the muffler using the MIG welder. When it has cooled, place the hanger inside the stock mount.

    5

    Weld the exhaust tip onto the muffler, making sure its aligned correctly with your bumper and looks good.
