Ok I hate posting this because there are a trillion muffler posts it seems. Forgive me for adding yet one more muffler post.
I just have a couple of quick questions.
I'm trying to install a Shorty Reverse Cone muffler. It came with a cool 3 piece reducer and I only needed the outer sleeve to make it fit perfectly.
However, it seems I'm a bit screwed without the proper 'bend' in the adapter area. I can't seem to get the header on straight and flat against the engine without seriously muscling it on there. I figure that thing needs to line up just right. So, do I just finesse the hell out of it, or do I need to get a proper bended adapter? It's a shame because it just slips on there nice and snug. I don't want to do any damage to the current pipes though.
So, am I stuck going to a muffler shop? And, does anyone know the proper angle off hand? 15 degrees or something?
I had this fantasy that I'd be able to just do it in one go. I was so close too. Oh well, I guess i won't be firing it up tonight.
