Hello Guys,
I need some advice here. My muffler fell off on the way home from work last nite. I need a cheap and quick fix. I need a cat back at a minimum. The cat is still working. Just passed inspection last month, but on its last legs. Anyway, I can get a Dynomax cat back for 150 thru Quadratec, then I gotta get it installed. Its too cold, and I dont have the time. Am I better off just goin to Midas or something similar? I live in North Andover. Whats the cheapest and quickest thing to do? I dont care if the muffler is only good for a couple of years, just need it fixed cheap. Would like some kind of high flow muffler. Not too loud though. Thank you very much for all advice.
Best,
D.

Go to Galnties exhuast and brake (sp) next to U hual in wilmington. Cheapest exhuast guy around. Really nice guy and great work. He bent tube and installed cat back cherry turbo for me for 130 last year. and installed a exhuast inclduing price of the chamber for 50 on my old ranger.
And woudnt you rather give money to a guy who still heats his shop with wood than some big chain.

go to lou's custom exhaust, and get a price quote. they did my dad's duallies for like 200-300 including mufflers. I cant imagine that a cheap-o muffler and some pipes can run you more than 150, but like we say in the hood, axe him sumpin.

Are we talking really loud? I would like a little rumble, but I dont want it to attract attention.
Thoughts?

Are we talking really loud? I would like a little rumble, but I dont want it to attract attention. Thoughts? If you want a "little" rumble, try a Turbo muffler. They are also cheap. I really think a single glasspack on a Wrangler is too loud, especially since you can only put in a short (maybe 18"?) glasspack. Longer the muffler, quieter it should be. |

I ran his glass pack in my ranger its like 8in long. I loved the rumble but just get the cherry bomb turbo its what he put in my jeep its pretty much same price. Sounds good nice mellow tone and hit it a few times wit rocks and it held up well.
