DW mine is an 02 maxima...I tried several places but as you said no
one is willing to weld it...as I need to get this done I finally got
it done at Monro muffler. Hope this will work out.
My first impression is that the new aft market muffler is less noisy
then the OEM one both in city and on highways...I like it this
way...also Im planning to order Magnaflow muffler tips, but to get
back the OEM look ;)
thanks for all your advice,
