Chop off the old exhaust right before the old muffler. then throw on a flowmaster super 44 sido with two turndowns. $120 bucks Loud but drones more than anything haha. I'll be changing this up once i get headers in the spring

Clamp a pipe where the muffler was, it would be less than $50 and it won't violate any sound laws

Can you name any state that does not have a law on the books requiring any moter vehical operated on public roads to have a muffler. I was in a large brew haha with Mack truck co when they tryed to pass the turbo off as a turbomuffler and ended up haveing to retro fit several trucks . So in many juresdictions you can get away with it BUT it is not legal.

It's a u-bolt type clamp with another piece that bolts together around your exhaust pipe. Check your parts store and ask for exhaust clamps.

guys...... Its sounds..WONDERFUL!! haha i cut the muffler or as my comedic old man friend calls it "my mufllin" completley out. i sawzawed it right where the inlet pipes welded to the muffler out and couldnt have asked for a better tone. Its deep and loud and almost does but doesnt quite pop which is perfect! anybody with a 5.4 liter I would advise you to do it immeadiatley. I am 100% satisfied with mine

Idk if I posted in here before but yeah, one of the first mods I did was cut the muffler off and put a piece of pipe in its place for a temporary fix for the prius exhaust haha

Sounded great, till I removed the rear cats and eeesh then I needed a muffler haha it sounded horrible after the cat delete and straights...
