    Post muffler solution

    Hi Gang,

    Need a muffler solution for our black '99. The dealer says 6 to 8 weeks for a OEM replacement muffler from Japan. Is there any other bolt on solution? We're not looking for any performance upgrade, just tolerable sound level. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    There is hole lot of aftermarket mufflers around. You can get pretty good muffler for under 100$. Its all depends on how loud you want it. You need to look for 2.25" inlet and same size out.

    Hi,

    Can you reccommend a specific brand of muffler that will actually bolt on, or do they all require some modification to get them to fit proerly?
    Thx

    Tom,

    Did your Flowmaster Muffler just bolt on or was some manuvering involved? Also, what did it cost and where did you purchase it?
    Many Thx

    I went to a local Ken's Muffler Shop. I think with parts and labor I got out under $135.

    I'm not sure about how it is mounted, but the muffler shop seemed like it was an everyday job....not a big deal.

    Peace.
    Tom
