So glad I can DIY

The center muffler in my most recently acquired 9K is going south. Sounds not too bad, really, but it will continue to die.
Was hoping I could just remove it and have a pipe put in, so took it to an exhaust shop. Found that the system is really toast and whoever did the exhaust last welded *all* the joints from the rear of flex pipe back. The hangers are all mickey moused and it looks as if it was pieced together. What a clusterf**k! It's just a joke of a system. Fortunately they still used the normal connections to the cat.
So knowing what the parts cost from a site supporter, I asked what it will cost at the shop. A whopping $800-850! Totally nuts. I can do it myself for half that in parts in about 3 hours. And probably have better parts. Great to be able to DIY!
