muffler day wasted

[johnny rezny]

muffler was blown out took the hold flanges off the old one welded them on the new one new one was two inches wider than the old one. slams up against the frame off to the muffler shops in the morning HA wasted day in the garage is better than a good day at work "minus my thumb of course"

Anyone using a non-stock muffler with the stock exhaust pipes and motor?

Sorry for the hi-Jack

[johnny rezny]

does the one from mephis come with flanges? does it bolt right up ?

Hey Brute,
I googled "Iron Tuff" and couldn't find a source, any help would be great.
I am looking for a basically stock sound. I have high temp POR 15 paint for the whole exhaust system so Aluminized or what-ever is not of concern.
Again, sorry for the hijack.

Its been oin there several years now...maybe they arent around now...it is a standard looking muffler that has an extra thick case in case it gets bashed a bit...it isnt special inside...if I could get anywhere nea it, I could measure it...snow is piled up to the edge of the hood opening all the way around the truck for several feet in every direction...

Mine has a cut header pipe, comes down turns under the frame, then into the muffler mounted under the pass floor, then turns and comes out between the cab and bed. It use to have a 'stack' there, but my son found a tree to remove it.

I'd like to see a photo of that scene. Sounds like M715 abuse.

I'm still waiting for nice weather to install it, but I bought one from Memphis about a month ago and it has the 3 hole flange on inlet and outlet, appears to bolt right up (I needed the pipes too (Saturn Surplus), so I'm not sure how everything will line up when its under there.) The exhaust on my truck was pretty cobbled together- the pipe from the manifold looks correct, but is cut off and the rest is all just pipe stuffed together and held with u-bolts. Lots of exhaust in the cab from that set-up. Don't forget to get gaskets.
