I have no exhaust currently from the cat back so i did what any reasonable ranger owner would do and went on crapazon and ordered the cheapest bolt on shit i could find.

Didnt realize it till last night when i got the shipping email that the muffler i ordered is a "walker soundFX"...

Its not some loud obnoxious ricer muffler is it? It looks pretty normal but i want something close to factory noise levels.

you can also just put a longer pipe to exit from under the bed to get rid of the horrible sound in the cabin.

I ordered a whole exhaust. The tailpipe broke about a year ago, then the muffler fell victim to a rutted dirt road, then the pipe between the cat and muffler broke off at the flange.

If we get a shitty amount of snow ill be starting it at 2am to go to work...the neighbors already dont like seeing it much less hearing it

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?

Walker's Sound FX mufflers are basically cheaper stock mufflers that don't come with a lifetime warranty. I agree with the guys recommending a full length exhaust.
