Default Muffler Installed! Learned some new stuff too!

Well I just had my Hooker Aerochamber installed, VERY pleased!
Along with my 3in high flow cat, no headers yet...this was done in some old guy's backyard.

Interesting thing is, I already have 3in piping, crush bent, looks like the y-pipe back, its all rusted over, we're not sure if the original muffler was stock, it was a 2.5in inlet and there was no brand name on it.

Just to throw this out there, we aren't stock with 3in piping, right?

This is on a 95 Z28, no RPO codes lol.

Learning new stuff everyday

Why and what do you need pics of?

Yes I just ordered the muffler, from summit racing.

Thanks for the stock piping size.

I'll try to get a few clips up when I can steal the GF's camera, the original muffler and cat had reducers from 3 to 2.5in that we had to take off, I'm sure it would be the same diameter all the way through.

I did this muffler simply for sound, once I get the headers/y-pipe on I'm planning on E-cutout(s).

I also have the original muffler clip on her camera we can use to compare.

Standby, I'll get this done tonight.
