Default exhaust/ Tail pipe fix

So i messed up the tail pipe. i believe that's the extent of the problem. so i bought a new tail pipe for 27$ and about 17$ in mounting parts and such.

After the old one is off, snake the new tailpipe in from the rear. I'm guessing that the rear hanger was broken or missing for you to have that little incident.

If the turndown is angled out to the right too far, it will contact the shackle or leaf spring. I cut mine off and added an 18" straight section.

If the muffler is questionable, now is the time to replace it. Any length (stock or shorter) will work 2-1/4" in and out, center inlet, offset outlet.

In the 'burg, or outside?

well we already cut the old one off, the hanger farthest to the rear broke and is pretty much non-existent, (bought a new one) we left the hanger closest to the muffler so it doesn't fall. we got a sleeve to put over both and clamps to clamp it and another clamp to clamp it to the new rear hanger.

sadly the muffler is questionable. but with this setup i believe i would be able to change it pretty easily.

i'm outside the burg. New Cumberland to be exact.

If you have the $ do the muffler now and save yourself the aggravation of working on the exhaust again. I bought a welded,stainless Magnaflow for less $ than the lifetime warranty Walker.

I'm outside of Mechanicsburg.
