Any hints? Is it as straightforward as it seems?

You will need to buy a pipe expander and you probably already have the other
tools needed.

Don't tighten any of the clamps until you have all the parts installed so
you can jiggle them about to get the best fit.

As straightforward as it might be, working on an exhaust system is seldom
easy.

Have you paid to have the bottles refilled lately? That's getting to
be one damned expensive wrench! Of course here, about half the cost is
the "hazardous materials" fee. What a crock.

Hi Will,
Maybe some of that is all the old people on oxygen.
I tired throw away a small Television, it fit within the garbage
container that is mechanically lifted to the truck, the driver got out,
fished it out, and left it on the curb with a note to take it to their
hazardous materials depot, and that's only open for a couple of hours
two or three days a week. It sat in the back of my Bronco for ten days
before I finally found it open.

Gas here is expensive. Even the teeny bottles I use in my OxyMapp rig.
Expensive enought to make me start looking at the Miller MIG welder

I gave my old TV away to a charity that rebuilds things (if they can).
The old PC montior just went with the trash. Taped the glass well
and set it out for pickup. The trash folk here will take anything
but prefer not to have suprises in the bin.

Chemicals and oil (even filters) have to go to the hazmat drop-off
but they are open till 6pm and some times on Saturday.

They had fun when I brought down an old, rusty, but still charged
12oz fogger can of Baygone and some other slightly lethal
kritterkiller chemicals. I was wearing a chemical suit and
they thought I was kidding till the unloading started. Then they
got geared up too.

When I think of some of the stuff I pulled out of Dad's barn after he
passed away, I shuuder. Of course, the merest whiff of malathion is
enough to send me running after flying cover for the Ranch Hand
missions in 'Nam.

Have you ever done an exhaust system before?

I gave up on doing them because they normally end up being 'WAY' more
pain in the butt than they are worth.

After 6 or 8 hours, or by the second day and with dead saw blades,
ripped knuckles, stripped bolt/nut heads, cursing, jacking then cursing
more when you figure no way that @#$%^ tailpipe is going over that axle
without it being on a hoist, that $100.00 labor they wanted at the
muffler shop is cheap!
