Yep... that's right.
Purchased 01/18/02... in the shop 01/22/02 - 01/24/02
And tonight, my muffler fell off. I told you there was a weird buzz noise coming from the exhaust but I couldn't track it down. Well tonight it made itself evident hehe. I was about a block from work on my way home, straight street moderate throttle and it suddenly went WHOOOF and got really loud. I thought the world was coming to an end (or at least my motor hehe) so I immediately pulled over to a parking lot. Once I had it stopped and idling I realized it was thrummimg the floorboards and I immediately suspected the exhaust. Sure enough, muffler was totally loose from the pipes and hanging just by the 2 mounts.
If I had tools with me it would have taken 5 minutes to fix, but alas I had to flatbed it back to the dealership (25 miles from my work) and I'm once again, for the second time in a month and 2 weeks, in a loaner. I swear my truck is a friday truck.
On a more positive note... ohhhhhh is that sound intoxicating with no muffler! Must... modify... exhaust. Urges... rising... cannot... fight it. HEHEHEHE. I love the way it sounds with no muffler!
Anyone know what aftermarket exhaust sounds closest to the way it does w/cats and no muffler? Heheheh. I was considering just taking it to an exhaust shop and having them put the tips on some extended pipe so that it's cats, new section of pipe, tips only. God it sounded good hehe.
