Straight Pipe Exhaust - 2001 4x4 2500
Thats funny - yeah I might ring the place I did my inspection or drop by and see how 'strict' the tone is on this - as from what I read its not 'legal' in MO - and we will be travelling around a bit in late 2010 and into 2011. Really like Moparmans idea of just getting the pipe from NAPA and flexing the ends out - as always nice details/doc ............ just I am from AUS and we only have to have our cars inspected if they ever get out of licence (ie you forget) or get flagged by police when they pull you over for speeding etc - no other times really - but here I understand it to be every year or other year depending on your plates. If they fail me on the straight pipe not sure if it would be easy to put a muffler back on and what it would cost . Guessing I could just split the pipe again and put in an $80 muffler from NAPA and that would pass ?

Any issues with safety/state car checks ? Anyone know the part number from NAPA ?? Just something like EXH 49099 ?? Most importantly - where do I cut off the old one/unclamp and attach - and directions - assume simple but pretty new thx all
