Pep Boys will sell you a two piece version of this system if you want to experiment without cutting , or if your old system looks funky.

Got this done. Dynomax 43661, a bit of round stock for a hanger, and a clamp on tip.

Barely louder than stock. I can hear a bit of a nice rumble at idle - while driving with road noise and the like, I can't tell much difference from the driver's seat.
However, the muffler was kinda plugged up with carbon, so I'm glad to be rid of it.

I trimmed up this horrible melty damage from a past fender bender with some 14ga steel and stainless fasteners.

Pretty satisfying centering it around the new 4" tip.
Big news, I know.

But I don't see the option for the black one anymore.
