    It probably wouldn't cost much if you were to bring the car to a muffler shop after you hang the muffler and have them make up the dual part to the rear from where you leave off. Time you buy pipes cut and hang them. Make some calls see what your optiond are.

    That's true, but you want to talk it over with the muffler shop guy beforehand.
    I've seen more than a few Mickey Mouse jobs where they plugged the new pipe into the original at a 90 degree angle.
    Quick and dirty it was.

    More than a few muffler shops will cut offending pieces of your car off with a gas torch if they're in the way.
    Been there, done that when a muff shop cut the stock mounts off my pickup just to make running the new pipes quick and easy.

    There are a heckuva lot of really good muffler shops out there.
    Try to find one and stay away from the butchers....

    YEP I have had the same problems here . You just insist on going with the car/truck and if that isn't allowed go to the next shop. We have a few custom shops around here. One, the pipes are guarented 10 yr. They use aluminized steel. I've had the same tail pipes on my truck for about 8 yrs now and changed the mufflers twice.My other truck they cut off every thing to the cat and started over no mufflers thats been on there a long time too.
