Muffler Delete, the good, the bad, and the ugly

@Ewrjontan that is exactly what I had done the first time: cut out the exhaust tips and weld it to the end of straight pipes because I couldnt find exhaust tips to match my Z tips, and they were too expensive when I found one.

Be careful though, because:
1) You will be ruining a pretty good muffler
2) You would at some point want to put it back to stock either for Registration inspection or for Z re-sale, and at that time, you would have to re-weld and it's not very pretty.

Here's what I suggest: Get a set of cheap tips (either Z or Mustangs) and use them to create brand new pipes. Leave the stock muffler as it is so that whenever you want to put it back, you just have to unscrew 4 bolts and voila!

Hope this helps man!
