MBRP muffler install
I finally got my new muffler installed yesterday. I ordered a MBRP muffler and "S" pipe from DPP last Friday and received it on Tuesday of this week. I installed it myself laying in the driveway in about an hour. First of all I went to a mechanic friends house Wednesday to rent his lift to do the install but it wasn't meant to be. He didn't have the tools there to get the job done and I didn't take mine with me so we couldn't complete the mission. I used a sawzall to cut the existing exhaust pipe to remove the stock muffler since the stock clamps crimped the flanges. It sounds good and not too loud I'll let you guys know how the fuel mileage is.

I just finished mine about an hour ago and it wasn't as bad as I expected. I too used a saw-zaw to cut the stock muffler off and it took about an hour to do. I bought mine from Mark at DPP last week he had the best price and the fastest shipping.

It wasn't too bad, it will be easier if you have another person help. I ordered mine through DPP and had it in two days shipped ups and it cost $163.84 delivered to S.E. Kansas. The part number is MK96116. That fits a 2006 LWB QC.

have any of you had a problem with the hangers lining up? i'm in the process of installing mine now, but all the hangers miss each other by about an inch and a half. its like the hangers should've been welded another inch and a half towards the back of the truck. i sent some pics to jason at MBRP to look at.

The hangars on mine lined up fine front to back, but were about 1/2" too long. Now every once and a while Ill get this high pitched squeal from the hangars rubbing on my frame rail. I need to get back under there and do some selective bending to try to fix it. Other than that, the install was painless and the sound is amazing. -Tim-

I had to cut a hanger off the muffler and re-weld it to get mine to work. I'm still trying to figure out how you guys did it in an hour when it took me that long AT LEAST just to get the cat off the downpipe.

i ended up bending the hangers back to where i needed them. took some messing around and about 4 days to do it but it works. i only worked on it in the evenings, thats why it was 4 days. deleted the kitty, so far sounds pretty good. the air intake is tomorrow. hopefully it goes quicker
