pipe came lose behind cat. What should i do?

calebrk · Mar 16, 2009

I had been wanting to change my exhaust a little but my truck did it for me. Directly behind my cat, the pipe came off. So now, from there back, it's just hangin and swingin around and rattling. When i get over 50 mph, it SCREAMS. i dont want to leave it like this, but i dont want it to sound stock either. The budgets pretty tight, about $50. any suggestions?

i though about running a pipe out of the cat all the way back without a muffler. would that make it quieter in the cab? would a simple turndown pipe make it any more quiet for me?

thanks for any help

Cherry bomb is about all you can get with a budget of 50 dollars. IMHO, i hate the sound of cherry bombs on anything but 302's or bigger. i love the sound of my flwmaster 50, but that is like 89 dollars, so take your pick.

Did the pipe rust off the cat, did the flange break, is there anything left to connect to?

As far as I can tell ( i didn't have much time at all to look at it) the flange rusted so bad that the bolts broke through. I have no welder so the only way I could attach it myself is a bolt all the way through or one of those big "u" clamps. Im not sure theres enough lip on the cat to do either.

I had the same thing happen to me, I went to my local auto store, and got an adapter, and welded the adapter right onto the cat, and buy a length of pipe to put on it, pretty cheap to do to...bought roughly 25-25 bucks
