listen to some youtube clips so you can get an idea on how itll sound and i beleive the stock muffler is welded on so youll have to cut it off and unless your state has some strict/weird laws the glasspack will pass inspection.

the stock muffler is bolted on the front, so unbolt it, but once you remove the muffler the end of the tail pipe (coming from the cat) now has a 3 bolt flanged end, you will need to cut that off, so the cherry bomb will slip over the stock 2.25 in pipes. Also the bolts holding the muffler on also most never come off, so you may need to cut the bolts. on the rear of the muffler, the rest of the tailpipe it is welded, you will have to cut it from the muffler. If you buy the longest cherry bomb made (31 inches) it will be easy to replace because the stock muffler is 30 in long

Also i would suggest welding the muffler on instead of using clamps, this way the muffler is less likely to fall o

I'd weld it...you're looking at having leaks if not. Muffler clamps are great, but you can't beat a weld.

I went down to check them out and as much as I would love to get one its just more than I am willing to do right now, I picked up a sweet set of aux lights and a cool "nos" switch and put the switch in the empty square in the dash and the lights on the bumper, two hour job, works great, im happy lol
