Question...how much can I expect to pay to have a muffler/machine shop fab a pipe to go in place of the cat/muffler? All I need is a pipe to go from the downpipe to the tailpipe where the muffler would have ended. Thanks for the advice.<br><br>Will

 

mine cost 15 bucks, that is 5 1/2 feet of pipe with 2 very slight bends in it-3 inch.. I welded mine right on the ends that way nobody steals the pipe like they stole my muffler and cat!! ;D I have a bunch of 5 inch chunks of chrome pipe from when i drove semi and made a tip for mine, but i am thinking about scrapping it all and going 4 inch from turbo into 5 inch turned out stacks ;D been bit by the bug!!

 

I'm eventually going to go 6&quot; side pipes. ;D Straight piped of course. ;D

 

I was quoted $85 (!!!!!) from 2 different muffler shops to cut off the muffler &amp; resonator. I don't have the tools to bend the pipe myself so i went the easy way and ordered the ME kit from Geno's...which is on currently backoreded.

 

Does anyone know if this is legal in wa?

Note to all 12 valvers. You have a cat on your exhaust. It is illegal to remove the cat. A muffler shop normally will not do this. If you remove it yourself you may be fine, unless your state has an inspection law and the inspector checks for the cat. :'(<br>Not trying to tell anyone what to do, just trying to warn you so you don't get bit in the a$$.<br>24 Valvers do not have a cat since they are efficient enough (emissions wise) without it. ;D<br><br>Chris

 

I was told today by a person who works at a Texas inspection place that all vehicles must have mufflers now. He didn't say it was a law change or a new law or what. Anyone else heard this? I thought he might have been confused with cats, but he said no, it's mufflers, 24valves don't have cats.

 

If your worried about Cat laws, just remove it, gut it, then reinstall it.<br><br>As far as &quot;all vehicles require a muffler&quot;, just remember, the turbo is a muffler, or a &quot;muffling device&quot; at least.<br><br>These are diesels, they are supposed to be louder than mom's minivan. ;D<br><br>phox (losing his muffler in a couple months hopefully)

I just got my new system from Rip. The muffler is big enough to drop a grapefruit through- easy...<br>Has anyone mounted one of these mufflers backwards so the baffles point the other way? I would think it has to be louder, but a bit quieter than none at all [undecided]
