Thanks. She's starting to show her age tho.

Went to install my muffler today, but I bought 3" id/od adapters along with regular muffler clamps and it won't work. The muffler is 3", along with the stock exhaust, and unfortunately I bought regular muffler clamps instead of the v clamps. I'd rather have it welded, but no one around here will do it for less then $200. Excessive imo. Anyone have any suggestions on what size adapters to get? Or should I just get 2 V clamps?
I was able to adjust the rear swaybar to the most aggressive adjustment.

Not yet. I ordered 2 v clamps from Amazon. Waiting on them.

Finally cut the muffler off the Tahoe. It was hot af--101 today. So of course I decided to work on the van too. The 3" v clamps were too big, should've got the 2.75" clamps. So gonna have the gf go tomorrow to get it welded up.
The seam split on the MBRP too.
Inside still looked good tho.
