william & PEH: that's what i was thinking. i tried measuring it before but i didn't find any that would be a directly slip on. so i suppose it is a metric size. i suppose i'll go to a muffler shop to do it, i wanted to avoid this because well 1. i am cheap, and 2 i am kinda busy around now. perhaps i can get them to expand the ends to fit my car.

i heard a bench on remus and "remus style" mufflers. the real ones are really expensive aren't they? i am kinda liking straight piping right now, wish i could keep it.

in missouri diesel vehicles do not need to pass emission testing, and i thought a muffler was a part of the emission system. but i don't want to push my luck.
