Besides having a totally crappy day at work, I'm less than 1/8 mile from home and exhaust falls off. Broke into where muffler attaches to y-pipe. Can't crawl home due to having to cross railroad tracks. Waiting for hanger and tools to wire it up.

Why cant you cross the railroad tracks?

Now cut the flange off the front of the muffler and use it to Fab an exhaust

Front end was hanging down. If I had tried to cross the tracks it would have ripped it off.

Was surprised at how "not loud" it is with just the Y-pipe... Not gonna have time to fix it before I have to drive it to the west coast. West coast of Florida that is. 225 miles one way. The dull droning sound is what going to drive me nuts.

At least put a turn down try and keep the exhaust from the cabin

Try cracking/opening a couple windows. Seemed to decrease the resonance a bit.

fo sho make sure you are not getting poisoned. it doesn't take a lot and you don't always get a vomit warning. be safe. there is nothing, that important, worth seeing in pensicola, anyway.

^^ditto. Don't let it idle while your sitting in there with the windows up. Or else you'll go night night and not wake up.
