Why may I not use the oem gasket? I'm using the same piping. Is the gasket destroyed from unbolting the exhaust from the axle-back? (I haven't ever touched exhaust systems before) Here are diagrams:

It will most likely not be salvageable ... We could always try and make you run to the parts store to see if it leaks. Wink

Yeah I guess that makes sense haha.

But, I just realized I'll need an extra 3-6 inches of 2.25" pipe to fit in between the muffler and tip to extend the tip to my bumper.... sigh. Anyone know of a good place to get some or have some extra in that small amount? If I can't find any I'll for sure have to go to the shop because I don't feel like buying 2 or 3 or 4 feet of it online lol..

Advanced and autozone usually carry 1-2 foot pieces.

And we might be able to salvage some off the old set up

Screw it let's do it. Remove the 2nd cat for a straight pipe and replace the muffler. I'll buy 2 feet and that should be enough. But Ill take a quick measure just in case. I'll order some by the end of the weekend probably. This is going to sound good once it is done :thumbup:

Make sure it won't cause a code (in addition to making it louder)

2nd cat isn't monitored on my car, thankfully only the first cat is.

I ordered the gasket + muffler/tip. Just need to order a reducer (because a larger diameter magnaflow muffler wouldn't fit on my car because it increased the length of the whole muffler) and extra pipe in at the end of the month once I get paid. And everything will be all set to make a meet.

The 10th of November or the next weekend will work for me. My brother is coming down the 8th/9th so I'll be busy those days.

I'd like to do my own welding but uhhhh I'm kind of scared to ruin my stuff.
