I figured out how to keep the stock resonators on the wagon. This week I installed the Clear Image Gen II headers, high-flow cats, a Pypes X-pipe, and Dynomax mufflers.
The guy who was helping me used an angle grinder to cut the factory mufflers from the over-the-axle pipes without damaging the pipes. I had to grind off a weird stopper on the tops of the pipes, that looked as if there used to be a hanger there. I needed to slide the pipe into the adapter all the way up to the curve.
To go from the 2-1/2" outlet of the mufflers to the 2" pipes, I used ROL brand #617566, 2-1/2" OD to 2" ID, 4-1/2" long, adapters. I got them as an special order at O'Reilly's Auto, who stock parts by ROL.
There was only enough space for U-bolt clamps. The adapters had to be slid well inside the muffler, and I had to make sure that was about an inch left for the clamp.
Everything slid neatly together.
