How to install muffler, Pics included Options

[CasCelica]

Hi.

Bought a 97' Celica a couple of months ago and decided to get among other things, a muffler. Found a A'PEXi N1 on ebay and bought it. But when it arrived I realized many things I didn't think of when buying it in the first place (I know, I know.. not very smart)


Problem 1

I thought I just had to remove the old cat and insert the muffler there but the pipe from the cat doesn't go straight forward (see picture). Can I just cut of the pipe near the cat and put the muffler in there?


Problem 2

As you also can see from the picture, there is three mounts. If anyone has installed a straight muffler like this, how did you do that?

muffler shop will be needed to weld the muffller to your current exhaust set up.

Dang. Aren't there any other ways?

Why can't I cut the pipe before the cat and use a clamp?
Would still have to make some sort of mounts...

There aren't any muffler shops around here.

sure you can cut the pipe and use a clamp but down the line your going to have exhaust leaks and maybe some rattling. best way to do it is weld it on.

if ur desperate u dont even need an exhaust shop... something easy like that a place that welds can even do it for yah...

Well, my father has welded for several years so he could do it.
I'll try that. Only have to find some clamps tomorrow. I'll take
some pictures if anyone else was wondering about the same thing

Thanks Great community you have here =)
