Well the cheap way would be get the proper sized clamps. The proper way would be to weld it on.

Since your asking this I'm going to assume you don't weld other wise you'd have it done already.

So your best bet if you don't have any friends that weld and have access to a welder is to take it to your local mom an pop shop that works with exhaust systems and have them weld it in for you. Should only be about $35 or so to have done.

i did this,and all i did was cut the exhaust off with a sawzall then clamped the pie on the pipe,then clamped a turndown pipe on the end of the muffler,and the tip is at the beginning on the rear axle,the PO took my cat off so yes mine is very loud but it wont be as loud as u might think with ur cat on,and dont expect a loud popping exhaust,it wont happen even without a cat

I lucked out on mine, there was no muffler when I got it, just about a foot of pipe after the cat. I bought a 2 1/4'' in/out cherry bomb turbo and a clamp, slid the muffler on the pipe and bolted the clamp to it with nothing after it. With the glasspack, it's going to be loud, but the more pipe you have on it after the muffler the more it will quiet it down some. Youtube will have plenty of clips of people recording exhaust sounds on just about any muffler/car combo.
