Just take it to your local muffler shop and have them cut your old one out and weld in your new one. Shouldn't cost over 30 bucks.
What muffler are you thinking about?

Unfortunately for me, it cost me nearly $100. I wanted to have someone really good do it -- I called around and everyone (except Pep Boys) wanted more than $65 plus parts. Your hooker muffler is probably a little shorter than stock so they might charge you for the extra pipe, etc., etc...

All I'm saying is that if you find a higher price but are satisfied that they are going to do a top-shelf job, don't be afraid to put out a little extra money.

Well I took it in to USA muffler and it cost me 40 dollars and the guy did a real nice job. I knew I could just take it in but I asked because my uncle has a lift and welders and my dad is a welder, but they didnt know how much trouble it would be to change. But thanks for your answers anyway!!!
