Well I just got a hole in the most inaccessable spot on the muffler. Why did mazda put all that heatshielding and brackets on those things? Anyhow I have some universals to put on and was wondering what angle bend is on the end of the y-pipe that connects to the muffler flange? It looks like a 45, but I just want to be sure because I would like to reuse the y pipe, and just cut off the flanges. Also it is 2" pipe, correct?
