Ok. Here is what someone from a local muffler shop tried to tell me today. I bought an aftermarket performance muffler and yes it is a universal fit one that does say it will fit on a ST. He tried to tell me that it won't fit because with these trucks you pretty much have to go with a OE replacement then said that the whole system is welded and they will have to go with the "Cat Back" system. When I asked why that is he got alittle rude and got alittle tongue tied. I told him that I have done muffler work on alot of vehicles and always used a "Universal Muffler" that had the size of pipe needed, I just don't have the time or tools to do this one and that I didn't want to run into a problem if I needed a costom pipe bended during the instalation, etc. I also mentioned that people on this website have had thiers replaced with ones not anything the size or shape of the original and he wants to look at it. He sofened up a bit after I told him all that. Not sure if I will give him my business or not but there is only two places in Punxsy that do pipe bending if it is needed and the other place isn't open yet. (as of 9:30 am) So, I'm going to check with that place first. Just thought I'd share that story. Happy Birthday to me, good start to it already! (My wife got me the muffler)
