Question

has anyone rigged a muffler with different inlet/outlet diameter to fit?
someone posted they used this muffler, but they didn't say how difficult it was.

These look like they might do the job for me. Looks to be the exact dimensions of the magnaflow.

They dont look terribly restrictive either. Here is the product description.

these look like they will bolt up and be good for you. pretty much the same as fmaster. They will be louder.

I was thinking of doing this with my flowmaster exhaust because the flow of it sucks. Anyone know if its possible with that cat-back.
