The muffler on my 85' has holes in it, and isn't too quiet. I took it to Midas and to replace it from the Cat back is 360$. I have another mustang, an 83' that I'm using for parts. I removed all the bolts and the pipe is sitting on the axle but I can't seem to get it out. Do I have to remove the axle? I could also take a hacksaw to the back of the curved portion, but I'm not sure what this would do. I wouldn't want the fumes sitting under my car would I? Any help would be appreciated. I'm an aspiring mustang fanatic.
