Exhaust came loose!

Exhaust came loose!
Apparently at some point the right half of my exhaust came loose, and I have found the mysterious clunk sound that would happen going over some certain large bumps... the axle was banging into the pipe as it was sliding out of the muffler. Today, while washing my stang, it finally came out the rest of the way, and the opening was half on the pipe, half not, it was just kind of resting there, not a huge deal, rest of the exhaust was connected up to the muffler.
I left it as it was, because it was not a huge issue, and took the stang for a short drive to get most the water off... needless to say, not having the pipe after the muffler connected made the exhaust SOOOOO much deeper, and obviously a lot louder in the car. It's made me want to get an electronic cutout to put after the mufflers for when I feel like cruising around, just dump the exhaust there What was nice about having one side connected, and the other not, is down low, it was amazingly deep and very loud, and had a very nice tone... above 3800 RPM at WOT, the side that was connected overpowered the side that wasn't so it retained it's sound up high... was pretty cool, but far too ghetto for me, when I got back from enjoying the sound I had to climb underneath and fix the problem... but not without taking a sound clip first!
I'll get the clip up tomorrow, it's far too late today... Ghetto-dumped Flowmasters sounded like a beautiful combination of SLP and the typical Flowmaster... I loved it. If you're tooling around under the stang, try it, it may sell you on dumps [8D] Takes all of 10-15 seconds and (for me) a 13mm socket.
