So pipe that connects to the cat is cut? Axle back to mid pipe is cut? Got a pic?? Take it to a muffle shop and have them fab up the part that's missing..

Seems like someone didn't know what they had so they cut the muffler off and left about an inch or two off the back of muffler.. So no mid pipe with resonator no nothing but muffler... My camera on my phone is broke so no pics

That picture doesnt help but it sounds like you just need to take it to a muffler shop and have them put some 3 inch piping from the muffler to the downpipe

^listen to him. but even if you do that, it wont sound like a regular borla hush because IIRC, the borla hush has a resonator in the midpipe

okay so somebody that had a borla hush, chopped off the muffler, and left you with the muffler and 2 inches of metal to weld to?

Exactly... and the resonator was also what I was worried about

A muffler shop could probably get you a resonator

it might not sound too bad without the resonator, it definitely tones down the raspiness though if you arent into that.

I say use it. you can buy a resonator no problem. it is a pretty quiet exhaust. I like mine. If you want something loud, i have a tanabe R-medallion for sale :-)
