my muffler was rusting off, so i went to Cole mufflers and had them put just a straight pipe, sounds nasty. was like 70 bucks well worth it in my opinion.

I picked these up from parts plus on lake ave for cheap, I don\'t remember how much but it was less than what auto zone wanted.

Oh and you probably allready know this but you should jack up your body (not the axle) to get the tail pipe past the axle. If you have a bigger lift it might not be needed.

I had taken a bunch of pictures as if I was going to do a write up but then I decided it was to noob ish.
