So the other day I was driving and my car got really loud. I recognized the noise because the same thing happened to my last car. I got home and checked my muffler (the problem from my last car) and saw that there was a break in the muffler. It breaks off right after the catalytic converter (thank god not the catalytic converter). I took some pics that I will post. I had my friends dad check it out, he's not really a mechanic but he knows some guys. He said that it will cost about $250. That is $130 more than the fix on my last car. He told me my tailpipe is fine, so Im not sure why $250. Is that what it's gonna cost? If not, then how much should it be?

These 2 pics were taken from the passenger door side.. So the catalytic converter is on the right.



These pics were taken from driver door (catalytic on the left)

This was for the V6 "muffler pipe" which is still pricey. I'd have to look to see what's there as to what parts could be saved now. If some aftermarket creation instead of OE style it could need the whole deal from cat back - can't tell with a car this old what's been done already.

Get some PB on the bolts you'll need to undo. Nuts may be welded on one side and glowing red hot heat might be needed to get them out. If the bolts cooperate these types can be done in no time. Not certain but the threads may be hardware available and 8mmX1.25 or 1.5 - for threads,
