[QUOTE="DougM, post: 19417, member: 50"] Well I finally have all my components of my new exhaust and have a few questions. What are most of you doing when installing a new catalytic converter and muffler/tailpipe. All my components are 2.5" mandrel bent. The tailpipe and muffler slip together nicely, but the cat is the exact diameter as the muffler= no slip fit?! Hopefully some folks on here have run into the same situattion and have suggestions?? I'm just wondering if most folks take their cats to a muffler shop and get the cat ends opened(flared larger) up to accomadate the muffler so they slip together or? Im wondering what a shop would charge for this "quick mod" as I dont deal with any shops for exhaust work? I'm not welding the system its going to be clamped for ease of removal so thats not an option. My old cat took a dump and so did the Dynomax ST muffler that was on there, thus the reason for the new cat & back . The new system is from Mike Leach Performance who makes all the Mopar Performance exhausts. Their out of Orange ,CA. thanks for any suggestions ahead of time. [/QUOTE]
