I recently decided to sell my firebird and I bought a 98' Mustang GT. Its all stock right now but I need to change that. I dont really have the money for a full cat back exhuast system. So for now I am just going to change out the mufflers for a little bit better of a sound. Ive decided to go with the Pypes Violator mufflers. I just looked under the car today to see how hard it would be to replace them. I thought that the stock mufflers would be clamped on but I saw that they were welded. I was just wondering about how much getting the new ones welded on would cost.

a shop may charge you an hour of labor? $70 or so maybe?

Use a sawz-all to cut them off as close as you can to the inlet and outlets of the muffler. Get your new mufflers and buy some $2 clamps and clamp them on. Thats what I would do if I was looking to get by cheap. You can even use some exhaust tape to seal it if it leaks slightly. It will cost less than $10 to do yourse;f, but it will not be as good as getting them welded.

Just thougt about something, if you get them welded the shop you take it to might not do it if your exhaust is all rusty, which I am sure it is if it is a 98. They don;t like to weld onto rusty crap, it doesn't hold as well.
