1995 Sport
Bringing a 1995 Sport back to life after years of sitting. Truck is used as a yard truck but needs an occasional trip on public roads. Took for inspection (Masschusetts) which is very strict now and records inspectors. Very happy that there were only 2 issues that needed to be fixed. One is a parking brake cable that probably needs to be replaced and the other a loud exhaust. I slapped together a system that starts with Walker Y-pipe that pretty much matches stock, I fabbed a flange and 3" pipe that goes into a straight thru muffler, then out the back with more 3".
I am looking for simple and inexpensive solutions to get this passed. This may include installing a silencer at tail end, a quiet muffler (need recommendations) or the steel wool trick. I plan to undo and run out the side after inspection. With exception of y-pipe flange all connections are band clamped so removal and installing new pieces should be pretty easy.
Thoughts?
