I like my solution best.  Walker # 18169 and short 2" tail pipe with apx
20 degree bend.  This puts exh tip in stock location.

Cut superfulous bkt from end (cosmetic only) of new muffler, cut input
flange from old and weld to new, weld tail pipe to output end of new
muffler and bolt on.  Bracket, band etc fit as muffler diameter is same.

Tone is slightly different at idle (not loud) and there is a very
noticeable increase in power from stock and a slight increase in fuel
mileage.

Time spent, under one hour, total cost under $20.00
