A trip to your local muffler shop should solve that.. and probably $50 to get it installed.

if not.. buy your own welder, cutter, pipe bender, muffler piping, etc..

Guju Man,

The only new muffler that you can put on with simple hand tools is a stock Toyota muffler. See if your car has one. It includes a section of pipe upstreamd of the muffler as well as the tail pipe down stream of it. There are some thick rubber straps that stretch betwen hangers on the fame of the car to hangers mounted on the exhaust parts. A genuine Toyota muffler comes with the hangers mounted on it and has the pipes already welded to the muffler and bent in the right shape. If you already have an aftermarket muffler on the car then you will see that the muffler shop has improvised some way of hanging the muffler on the frame. (I think they do a better job by welding the hangers on the aftermarked exhaust parts than by using metal strapping.) The shop also must weld the section of pipe just upstream of the muffler onto the muffler. You do see fittings in auto parts stores that let you join exhaust pieces together without welding, but I don't think this is a good way to rig an exhaust. If you can do welding then you can probably improvise some way to do any cutting and bending of the pipes. If you are not a welder then the only do-it-yourself muffler job you want to tackle is replacing a genuine Toyota muffler with another genuine Toyota muffler.

welder, cutter, pipe bender, muffler piping $1200 (??More??) wasting all that fucking money when it would cost ya $50-priceless

this has been a commercial for mastercard/owned corp.

if you lived in gta area, I would have said, don't go to spitfire performance (saw the work the did on a mr2 turbo ...

yeah it shouldn't cost any thing..

I want to replace the muffler with a bigger one. Does it have any affect when I get a smog check in the long run?

For smog? most likely not.
Now getting a bigger cat - That'll probably do something to your smog numbers

Yeah.. as long as you're not taking out the catalytic converter, you should be ok. once you mess with that then you'll be lucky to pass smog/emission tests.
