quick question on the stock pipe

[Archer]

hey I need a quick response from guys or girls on here that have replaced their exhaust on their own i guess.

After the cat (towards the muffler) there is a clamp. On my old 97 there is a flowmaster exhaust on there thats a little over a year old. well after looking at my 2000 and the 97, the clamp (right after the bend under a bump plate) are at the same spot.

My question is, this is holding the 2 pipes together? and if it is, how much of a PITA is it to split so I can swap these exhaust out?

Thanks guys... n girls..

btw go with dynomax super turbo not a crapmaster 80 series.. i had it before my dynomax for about 12 miles lol and when i put the dynomax on so much more torque.. it was great..

Re: quick question on the stock pipe

you can split it apart if you have the right tools or if it isn't that badly rusted should come apart with some force. the clamp i would suggest just to get another one. only a couple of dollars anyway.

X2 on the Dynomax super turbo, Meatyshells finally got to here it on Friday compared to the Summit Turbo he heard on it before , I think he liked the Dynomax better. But His exhaust is crazy with the long tubes, sounds like a V8 at idle,crusing and WOT def. a nice setup. He also has alot of $ into it, so its all about how you set it up.
