I could only get it about 50% of the way there, I doubt it will come loose though, since the other one is on tight.

You can pick up a socket elbow adapter to help. Any auto parts store should have it available. I installed the same muffler and know what you are saying here. The elbow connects directly to the socket you are using, and allows you to kick the ratchet out away from the pipe for sufficient clearance. Prolly be a good idea to get that bolt all the way in. Both bolts tighten until they are seated completely and cannot go any further.

Respectfully, e.b.

you guys might like the tone. i might be just too old for these noisy
mufflers.

Can we get a sound clip????? That'll help in making my decision

lol so I probably could have done that on my own I suppose. Especially since I took the time to read this entire thread prior to asking you for a clip.

NoObzOr move FTL! sorry. It doesn't sound awful but there was a section on both vids I watched probably around 4000rpm that sounded alittle tinny.....not to big on tin. But still leaning toward getting one.
