Magna-Flow Muffler

Part #:

Since the Passenger side Upper Control Arm contacts the muffler and the fact that I had already abused this one with a tree root it was time for a new muffler.  I wanted something that would provide a nice rumble, but not be to loud cruising down the street.  I decided to go with a Magna-Flow.  I took it to a local exhaust shop.

The muffler is ovaled to pass between the shock and the gas tank skid.  It also sits higher along the frame rail.  I could have had it tucked up nice and tight, but I intend to add another tow hook for the time being before I decide on which bumper I am going to use.  I also had the exhaust cut upwards at an angle to the side to aid when I'm in the water and muck with it.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
