Actually, this is unacceptable. Muffler will probably go back. I don't want to have to cut off and reweld the inlet.

Might actually work just fine once you finagle it in the truck.

You can't just bend it? I've had to do that a few times and it works ok.

I won't bend it because it will either oval out the inlet or pull apart inside which I really don't want. When things aren't made right I don't accept it. Thats why there's so much junk on the market. They know they can get away with putting it out that way and people will sacrifice their own time to fix it. I make over $100 an hour most of the time so I don't want to give a $67 muffler any of my time. If it fits the way it is, and it might, I'll use it but I won't spend time fixing their mistakes.

Exhaust parts ordered. The pancake converter that's laying on the crossmember is gonna do the Stray Cat Strut to the scrapyard and get replaced with straight pipe. First person to say "but it needs the back pressure!" or "gonna throw codes!" gets laughed at. I don't make the rules. Should be enough pieces to cobble a tailpipe together too. Anticipate an opportunity to make fun of my welding "skills"

But it is a violation of federal law, I don't make the rules.
