hi-
not sure what size (dia.) exhaust my titan has, looking for a flowmaster 40 muffler to install. any ideas or recommendations on type of flowmaster that works best. i've heard the 40 series and like the sound.

-thanks

In case you can't find it: Flowmaster Dual Pipes

if you live where there is a lot of snow and they use salt to melt the roads i would go with the magnaflow exhuast i have it on my truck little bit quieter then the flow but sounds nice and mean 25 dollers cheaper and has a life time warrenty seen a lot of flowmaster rusted out no warrenty (they will still know you did something to your truck) sound nice

I am not sure either I think the 40 would be good too

I guess what i need to know is.. if I want to swap mufflers, stock muffler for flowmaster, can i do this myself? i am pretty mechanical-minded, but have not done exhaust work yet... if i simply cut out the stock muffler, can i purchase addtl. pieces of exhaust pipe to connect the flowmaster if it is a smaller muffler, and can i get pipe that i can slip into the existing pipe wothout welding, by just using clamps? I know this may sound real simple to many on this forum, but i just want to make sure i can do it. also, does the intake/outflow of the muffler allow the stock pipe to slide over it with clamps?

any help is appreciated. i'd like to keep existing tailpipe and pipe from the cat conv. in place (easy as possible)

thanks,
steve, RI

I am hard pressed to think of anything on a vehicle that is more of a pain
in the cheeks to work on than an exhaust system. If you want to go the
economy route, stop by an exhaust shop and let them look at it and tell
you what length and inlet/outlet sizes would be best. Then find the muffler
you want on line that meets these specs. Then take it to the shop and
have it welded on.

You'll save yourself a lot of aggravation, and it will look much better than
if you try to put it on yourself with clamps.

thanks for the input, sounds like that's what I'm leaning toward.......

You should have no problem doing that. I'm pretty sure it's 2.5" piping but not positive. The muffler will actually slide over your piping and you will have to buy a piece of pipe but make sure one end is flared to go over your stock piping. It should be pretty simple. Good luck and post some pics.

Or do it that way.

Depends on how much the extra $50-100 is worth to you.
