i want to straight pipe my 2001 but i noticed that the muffler is welded on and there isnt alot of room t put clamson for a flex pipe

so my question is is that if i cut off the muffler and get a flex pipe and get it installed some how by finding some sort of clamps, if i didnt like it and i got a muffler shop to put themuffler back on, how reliable will the muffler be if its welded on meaning will it fall off after 100 000 miles? and how should i attach a flex pipe if i do do this

I cut the pipe off as close as I could to the muffler and attached the flex pipe with two stainless band clamps. If you don't like the sound I would get a free flowing muffler instead of the stock muffler. Personally I like the straight pipe sound, just watch the noise laws. :muahaha:

A muff shop shouldnt charge you much to do an install without flex pipe.

I have tried every local exhaust shop here and no one has the ability to bend anything over 3". I have tried some of the big truck places and they dont do custom stuff. So I am going to be stuck with the flex or buy the delete pipe on Ebay till I do full system.
