Without changing the air intake is there any sense in 'upgrading' the exhaust/ muffler when I replace it? Should I try to save on labor costs and do this myself?
thanks paul

You will realize some performance gain with a "cat back" performance system. Stainless is good because it doesn't rust. Check the online vendors like

They can be a serious pain to work on when rusty, I think it is money well spent to let someone else cuss it out.
I went with a lifetime warranty Dynomax high flow muffler that sounds and works well. I'm on my second in 10 years.
For the cat rattle, check the heat shield. Lots of times is is just a foot that has broken loose that can be pried up or welded back on for no more noise.

Or a real good excuse to buy new tools. :) Ye olde angle grinder works well in removing rusty U bolts and freeing up stuck exhaust pipes.
Gibson here. Still doing well.

Heat shield is ok,,,, maybe if I put it off long enough the rattle will go away like Earl's ! :-)
Plenty of rust and not a big enough budget for new tools.........
thanks guys! paul
