Wide body exhuast removal

[ronmarabito2002]

I just finished a conversation with Ralph Fullenwider. He did one on
Jack & Liz's coach. Needless to say, it was awful and it took both to
do it. They went back with a 5" muffler because the cost of the 6"
muffler was more alone than what all the 5" pieces cost with the muffler.

If a straight pipe isn't too expensive to try, I'll do it, otherwise
we'll see.

I wish I had someone close by that could give me a hand. I think it
will take two people to accomplish.
