yups...actually its the: 5 x 8 Oval / 2.5 Center Inlet / 2.5 Center Outlet / 18 Body Length / 24 Overall ...to be exact..lol...would i be able to install that myself? just cutting old muffler out and using the muffler clamps?...or would be better to bring somewere and have it welded?

this is a personal opinion.... get it welded... nothing like being in busy traffic and the thing come undone... just to exchange mufflers i wouldnt hink would be much but it just depends on hwere you live... i got a new muffler, chrome tips, sido for 300 bucks... out the door... when i keep my foot out of it, it does get better mileage.... but man it sounds good when you kick it....
