ok im planning on buying a universal muffler for my 95 SOHC neon sport and i know the stock muffler is not welded its hold on by a clamp my question is if i buy a universal muffler is it possible to install the new muffler with a clamp like the stock muffler or do i have to acually weld the new muffler on and if i can install with a clamp should i buy a muffler with a 2.25 inlet to clamp on or do i need a different size?

physically you can its easier with pipe bender though

well im just gonna cut the 90 degree bend and have the muffler on the driver side of the car but i dont know what inlet to get i know that stock the pipe goes inside the muffler and clamps do you know what size inlet i would need? i would just weld it but i have never welded before and i dont really wanna pay to have it welded if i dont have to

your gonna have to weld if you want it properly secured and no leaks. it's only about 25 bucks to weld at a shop, try Midas.

but my main question is what size inlet do i need i know my pipes are 2.25 so do i need 2.25 inlet or a little bigger or little smaller?

probably need the same pipe size on your car, what kind of muffler you getting? Most performance universals have 2.25 inlet.

im not sure yet prob 3Aracing or something i dont wanna spend alot of money but i dont what a pop corn popper

i would suggest Magnaflow stainless steel universal or DynoMax Super Turbo Muffler universal. Low price but great deep sound and not too loud.

for reviews on products suggest you checkout http://www.carreview.com/reviewscrx.aspx and click on exhaust, and then on muffler.

very good honest reviews.

2.25 should be fine just have them weld a flang on the other side just in case you want to take it off

get a 2.25 it should slide over but if it doesn't just zip a little slot in the pipe so you can squees it together.
