I want to get a muffler delete pipe, but I was hoping that my muffler did not have an offset but it does. The entrance is higher than the exit. I was wondering how i could deal with this, and where I could get something like this. This is a completely stock system with the 2.75in tubing.
Thanks, Jacob
go to the auto parts and get a 2.75 piece of flexable tubing...that will get you by untill you upgrade

Scrap the 2.75, go with a 3.5 or 4" setup from one of the mutiple vendors you read about on the forums. Kennedy's set up is plug & play no interference issues.
JC Whitney sells flex pipe for not too much coin if doing a band aid repair

I heard flex pipe leaks though, and I have had a hard time finding some 2.75in. There is plenty of 3in but no 2.75. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

Flex pipe does not leak at least one from JCW I use for Cat bypass test pipe, & offroad running. It did leak a little when I tried to uise it for IC plumbing, but that was because flex pipe is only rated for 3 psi, your exhaust will be less than 3 psi.
I didn't catch it before but isn't stock pipe 2.5" been so long I just don't recall 2.75" doesn't sound right to me for some reason.
If, 2.75" is what you have then you will need a reducing coupling to match up tubing, most part stores have those or a muffler shop can make you one if you have a special size requirement.

I'll recommend a good exhaust shop about 3 miles from where I live. He will bend and form up to 3" exhaust pipe. I assume you're in central Ohio like me since you didn't give us a location, so just take 309 west out of Iberia and once you get to where Elmo Crabtree used to live, it's the first place on the left.:rolleyes: He's top notch!

I am actually in Maine, so that is pretty much out of the question. Thanks a lot for the input though.
Thanks, Jacob
