Problem w/ exhaust installation - please help!

[tpszcz0]

I would be grateful if anyone could provide some input into my situation. I ordered a walker OEM cat-back exhaust for my 2000 explorer sport 4.0L SOHC. I didn't bother to see if it would fit until I received it, when I noticed MY muffler has dual inputs from two cats.

Anyway, I'm kind of in a time crunch, (my current muffler is about to fall off, and I'm making a long trip on Monday - I just replaced all of my shocks and brake pads/rotors) so I was wondering if you guys think I could fit a Y-pipe or get a shop to weld on another input. Or, should I return it and buy the correct muffler locally? Finally, am I just being stupid and missing something?

Thanks for your help,
Tom

your link isn't working for me. but if you have until monday then you have tmie to get it fixed.

are you sure it's dual inlet and not a duel outlet?

most likely you can take the kit to an exhaust place and they might charge you an hour's labor for installing it. i see no reason why you couldn't find a place in town to install it and weld it in.

you'll get it fixed, just dont' freak. that's the worst thing you can do.

Thanks for the reply.

The muffler that is currently on my truck definitely has two holes in the front, and one hole in the back. The one they sent me has one hole in the front and one hole in the back.

My 2001 Sport has one pipe in and one pipe out. I think you just got the wrong system. I looked at the link and either your engine code does not match or walker just got it wrong and the muffler is different between 2000 and 2001. Check your engine code first and if it matches call Walker and ask them.
