Default Expand muffler.

So i havent gotten it done yet but for a temporary fix the insert port on my muffler is crushed in from previous attempts to fix the little link between the cat and muffler as thats where it constantly falls. is there anyway to expand that insert again so i can slide the muffler back towards the cat? getting new stuff isnt an option at the moment as far as a new muffler or new system. i just need this to last a few more months lol.

Figure out what diameter you need and get the correct size range.

Avoid using the cheap muffler clamps that crush the pipe next time. The band style clamps are awesome if you expect to ever need to disassemble or adjust.

For inserted joints with a step such as pipe inserting into muffler.
Amazon Amazon

For butt joints where the pipes are the same size
