Home depot sells cordless ones. Get it welded on after that. Come to DE and I'll weld it for you.

Cut a slit along the pipe connected to the muffler. Do that on both sides and it should come off.

X2...that is how i got mine off, but i just cut it off with a sawzall and slit the pipe after. i also didn't put a tail pipe on but welded a turn down on the end of the muffler. i think it sounds better for jeeps that way anyway
