Ok, before i do this im going to ask. My new cat is direct fit, but the outlet is smaller than the inlet to my muffler. It goes from 2.25 to 2.5. I cant get the right reducer to fit the two without ordering it. Can i just fill the hole with weld? The cat goes into the muffler about 2 inches so idk if it would hurt anything by doing it like that. If itll hurt, ill suffer with the bad mpg and order the reducer.

You may be able to have a exhaust shop flare the pipe up

I can weld it myself or order the 12 dollar piece. Im not paying a shop to do that. All the shops near me are expensive. I had one shop put a bend in my tailpipe for $80.

That sucks the one here would do that for maybe $15

I wish. Theres a shop that a friend could do it at, but its an hour and a half away.

Well I thought I'd give my 2¢

a_shirey

Thanks anyway. Anyone else have a thought?

Sounds correct to me. Tailpipe over the muffler outlet?

Hey what would a shop charge to put on a muffler, already bought, old one already cut, just put it on and weld it?

Probably about 75 bucks.

Dang, too spansive

May be more or less than that, if guess about an hour job, so between 50 and 75, I'd think.

What would you guys say is the least powerful welder you'd need for 3/16 steel. Would a Eastwood 175 or Hobart 140 suffice? Really not trying to spend more then $300-400

Looking to put a nice all terrain tire on a stock 97. What size should I get so it won't rub?
