No. You will need about 3 more inches of pipe to weld it all you can go pick up a peice at like napa for cheap.

Would be easy enough to figure out by crawling under the truck with a tape measure. Measure the stock muffler from inlet pipe to outlet pipe, then compare to the glasspack muffler.

Unless you weld, it's an easy job for a muffler shop.

you should probably take a class in how to use and read a measuring tape, that is a pretty ridiculous question to ask. does it come down to laziness? or do you just not know how to use a ruler?

sorry if this comes across as rude, but in order for me to tell you the answer to this I would have to crawl under my truck and take the same measurements that you would.

the tape is only as smart as the user - perhaps crawling around under truck w/answer said question -

you should probably look at it, then measure it. because I'm sure it is going to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer
