Do i just go to midas and ask them to put in a basic muffler?
Thanks, Kevin

If you do not have a shop that has that I am sure that somone here can post a pic. of one than you can bring that in with you to the shop my truck did not have a sys. in it and I am almost ready to go get mine so I do not have a pic to post.

However I'll bet there are others posted too if you start looking thru the links to members trucks. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | Its a very simple exhaust system. One pipe and a muffler with a tail pipe that exits at the driver's side rear. It does curve up over the rear axle and they sell metal plates to keep the bed wood from getting hot.
If you want it to be bone stock original that may take some research. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 506 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 506 |
